How can i get hungry again??

Braden_

I started chemotherapy about 3-4 weeks ago. Since then I lost almost 30 pounds. I have no appetite…I was healthy man before that and now look like a skeleton. Any tips of how I can go back to my old weight?

I know that in some states the use of cannabis is allowed for cancer patients in order to help ease pain and also to help with apetite…you can ask your doc about it.

If you feel full after eating only a small amount, try eating small amounts more frequently when you do get the urge to eat. You may find it easier to eat small amounts several times each day rather than at mealtimes. Limit fluids during meals, as liquids can fill you up and limit your intake of higher calorie foods. It may help to drink most of your liquids 30 to 60 minutes before or after meals. Pay attention to smells, as certain scents may decrease your appetite or bring on nausea (I couldn’t even think of beef…).
