What I can do?

To answer some questions:

1. Yes, I physically can eat more often than I do.
2. It isn't what foods I'm putting in, it is how often and how much.

Here's why:

1. I have a huge sore in my throat that hurts like the dickens if ANYTHING goes past it. Water included.
2. I need to have my throat enlarged again, so it is back to baby food, so if food isn't pre-prepared (whipped) then I'm very hesitant to eat it as it gets stuck (and hurts, with or without the sore that is in the same place!)
3. It seems that practically every food I consume ends up hurting my small intestines. This combined with the chemotherapy results in my throwing up after every meal. This has lead to an aversion to many, many foods I would normally consume in mass quantities and can't even look at them now.
4. I have no appetite. The desire to eat plays a large part in how much and how often you eat. The steroid provided to me should help with that this week. Also, removal of the nauseating chemo pump should also remove many aversions.

So hopefully with the proper diet suggestions I have from all my friends and family (no need to provide any more, I'm overloaded). Then I just need to eat MORE. That is all.

Note: one of the reasons I have to eat more is that I'm not eating fast food any longer. No tacos, no chicken wings, no hambergers and fries. Therefore I have to eat more because the calories of what I am eating are less. Health food isn't all it is cracked up to be for someone like me that can't eat much.
