I’m 3 weeks in and have no appetite. I need to eat to keep therapy progress but have no interest in food. Also I have a UTI and need food to fend off infection.

The same thing happened to me. I lost my taste for the healthy food I usually eat. So, during the first couple of months, I ate bacon sandwiches and hamburgers and anything else I never eat because those flavors appealed to me. Do whatever you have to do to get your calories.

Ask your doctor for a appetite stimulus.
I believe Mirtazipine is one.
