I have a question on the other side of this discussion.. I recently got diagnosed and quickly lost some weight due to stress, the cold that’s going around etc. does anyone have suggestions on protein shakes or similar things. My appetite has been reduced but I feel drinking calories might help.

Sorry about your diagnosis…Protein shakes are great but try to minimize the sugar content. But be careful of “sugar free” shakes because many -or all - contain sugar alcohols and other substances which cause gas - a definite NO NO if any radiation is involved in your treatment.
Check out the Ensure choices first but if no luck you can buy your own whey powder or a plant based alternative and blend it into fat free or lowfat milk. They are finding that a little sugar - probably 5 gms or less - is way better than any of the zero calorie substitutes. Best of luck!

I drink a meal or 2 almost every day (primarily to try and control weight).
Almond milk, unsweetened vanilla, 30 cal + Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey.
Best wishes
