Good morning, @scottcanser and welcome to Connect. Oh gosh, you and your wife have my empathy with the food situation after a BMT. My husband had the same challenges with trying to get me to eat! Food was not my friend either…I was nauseated, didn’t have a sense of taste and the months of chemo before transplant did away with my taste buds.

What I found that helped was not sitting down to a full plate at mealtime. My husband, bless his patience level, made foods ahead of time for me to graze on daily. He had containers or baggies of PJB bites, pieces of plain broiled chicken breast, pieces of Swanson canned Chicken breast, bites of string cheese, scrambled or fried egg (not hard boiled…harder to digest), crackers, bites of banana, apple, applesauce, canned peaches. Sometimes pudding would work or a smoothie. Lactaid ice cream was a winner!! But even then, sometimes I could only eat something once and then it turned me off again. So it’s hit and miss on food
But do stay away from things with tomato sauces or anything spicy-hot, greasy, peppery.

There are a growing number of us in the BMT transplant group who share our stories and experiences. Would love to have you and your wife join in with us. You might find some good information to help you along with way with these discussions.

Is your wife still in a clinic setting or is she an outpatient?

Hi @scottcanser, it's been a few more weeks since you posted. How is your wife doing? How are YOU doing?
