Ongoing nausea 9 weeks after chemo

Hi there @LizetteH...I'm sorry you're having such a tough time still. I was hospitalised for a total of 56 days over the 12 week period of AC chemo due to severe side effects. I was seen by a specialist oncology dietitian as I had lost so much weight. She told me to try and eat or drink anything that didn't make me feel ill at the very thought of it. Her words to me were "If you see a kilojoule, catch it and eat it". She told me that dietitians normally tried to steer patients away from fruit juice or flavoured milks, Milo, Horlicks and so on, but that she didn't want me to put anything into my mouth, liquid or solid, that didn't pack an energy punch. She told me to try what would have been called an "invalid" diet from a generation ago. Things like baked bread and butter puddings with added raisins and made with either evaporated milk or sustagen and a  few eggs.. Also good old jelly and ice cream. She told me that the gelatin in the jelly was very soothing for an inflamed gut. She said to steer clear of fried foods, but that if a fried dish appealed, then go right ahead. She told me not to worry too much about the quality of the food at that time, but just to work on small meals often. She recommended a "grazing" sort of behavior, rather than a set three meals in quantity. She also recommended for me to keep a small bowl of grated cheese next to me to nibble on...fat, calcium and kilojoules. I was also told that if I could face eating fish, to eat from the S.M.A.S.H variety...that is Sardines, Mackarel, Anchovies,Salmon and Herring. The itty bitty bones in them ensured a good calcium source. At home, I dug up some of my old recipe books and made all sorts of baked puddings as above, such as semolina, bread and butter, baked upside down pudding with pears and so on. I hope thing turn the corner for you soon. Ally.
