Absolutely, well said @Tinks ..... @Maayaa - when my husband was going thru chemo he got down to 50kg (he had most of his stomach removed.) I was told the same - it doesn't matter WHAT he eats, so long as he eats! I used to 'value add' to his meals too - heaps of cheese in my smoked fish pie and I added Baby Milk powder & protein powder to his milk to give him more calories. He then took a liking to the KFC Chicken Wraps & the Berry Smoothies - so that's what he had a few days a week (being a triathlete, he normally didn't eat junk food!!) He also loved our local pie shop pies - so I would buy 12 at a time & freeze them so I had them on hand when he felt like one.
I did a really mean smoothie too with bananas, adding custard & cream/ice cream to the mix as well as the egg & vanilla. It is Really yummy. I tried different fruits too - adding apple & peach. Be inventive. Sometimes just drinking a smoothie is an easy way to get some calories into you - and very nice too!
Yep - definitely keep on top of the nausea - just don't stop taking it - and as Tinks says, let them know if it isn't working!
All the best xxxx
