Loss of appetite occurs commonly among cancer patients.
NOT!!!
I was quite prepared for the loss of appetite that is so common with cancer treatments. I borrowed a juicer, purchased "comfort foods" easy to digest and found recipes for smoothies.
I anticipated loss of weight and the struggles to keep nourished. That never occurred.
My appetite never waivered and the iron rich comfort foods put the pounds on me. I actually gained weight!!!
I chalk it up to the "Sorrell Fondness for Food".
I would like to toss off a few pounds before Christmas.
I hear you Dodi!!! Same thing happened to me - through chemo and radiation! Argggh - was hoping for an easy 15 pound weight loss LOL. Didn't happen. Chalk it up to steroids and needing to be kind and feed our bodies as they are working so hard for us.........
ReplyDeleteAND my oncologist told me a little weight gain is good.....that means our bodies tolerated everything well......didn't struggle.
So WOOOHOOO for our superstrong, healthy bodies!!!
Hugs,

I didn't know that tip before......I'll definitely use it.
