What Do You Eat When You Have No Appetite
The first 4-5 days after chemo I have no appetite. I am not necessarily nauseous but no foods appeal to me. My chemo nurse was upset because I lost 4.5 pounds in 2 weeks between chemo. I am trying to eat high protein, 60 g a day. Since I am a vegetarian my choices are limited. I can't afford to lose weight. I am also disbetic so many high carb foods are out because they spike my blood sugar.
I ate ice cream shakes. Watermelon. Pineapple. cheese.
What about soups? A friend of mine made me a lot of homemade soups from roasted vegetables that were delicious. She froze them in single portions for me so I just had to grab one out and thaw it for dinner☺
I was wondering about the duration of glucose spikes with steroids. I am a Type II diabetic and have managed so far to not need meds.
It sounds to me like you are figuring it out 😉 xxxooo
No, she basically told me my diet was great and just add protein. She wants my protein between 60-70 a day. My problem is the healthy foods I normally eat, I have no desire to eat. The day after chemo I seem to gain weight, 4-5 pounds. I am guessing that is the steroid . Then over the next few days I lose that. I try to eat mini meals throuout the day, too.
