It's great to see you here and learn everyhting is going well after your BC treatment. My appetite is certainly not what it was but I have to really struggle to swallow too. If I have a big bowl of creamy soup with protein poweer or whatever--soemthing that's maybe around 450 calories, I feel stuffed and have a hard time wanting to take the effort to eat the other 200 calories that should be a part of each meal (if I eat 3 meals a day). I also have a chronically inflamed and sensitive tongue, though, and so I have always thought that that that was as much of the issue as appetite is. My tongie is always little more sore than normal after eating.
Still, even if I could eat normally and didn't have the mouth pain I suspect I would get to feeling full very quickly compared to the old me.
