I lost a lot of weight. I existed on protein drinks. Eat what you can. Do 12 bites a meal of whatever you can or 12/24 swallows. I drank mine straight doen.

Thank you dorus. So sorry you went through that. I spoke to a nutritionist on my team and they put me on a 1700 calorie 50 grams of protein a day diet. I never ate so much food in my life . She gave me smoothie recipes and other very helpful food charts. I'm already up 3 pounds. Wishing you a happy healthy peaceful new year

I go up & down. Whenever I get hospitalized I lose then gain after IV fluids. At home after 5 days treatment with Rchop of prednisone I eat a lot so I gain. I have really bad taste in my mouth & can't eat certain foods so I lose. I guess it's part of process

I gain over 5kg during my Rchop. I have good appetite even I lost half of my taste and smell. They give steroids so I think they make me hungry 😊
