@ejames81195 I created a lineup of things to smell twice a day. Pick pungent things you are used to smelling and get your nose really down close to the item.

Aside from the smell retraining, another thing that really helped me was eating things with recognizable texture and imagining how they should taste. One of those things was lasagna, which I liked but it wasn't really a favorite prior to my transplant. The feel of the noodles, meat and cheese were very recognizable to me. I imagined how each element would taste and it kept my interest until it was completely consumed. This worked so well for me that it was one of the few meals where I had seconds. As you know, this is huge for someone who panics at meal time because you know you desperately need calories, but have a new found disdain for eating. Another example of the texture and imagining approach I used was with chunky peanut butter and banana stuffed French toast (Bobby Flay recipe). Maybe try this approach with things you normally like? Whatever it takes, get as much food down as possible. Your body desperately needs calories to do the internal repairs. Treat it like a workout and push yourself harder each day until the scale starts to go up and the healing is complete.
