Thank you for all your info. I too have been making smoothie shakes with Fairlife Protein drinks, frozen fruit, xtra protein powder and vanilla ice cream to up the calories and protein. His oncologist gave him a prescription for the metal taste and salt water or baking soda mixed in water has helped with metal taste too. Do it before eating. Breakfast used to be his favorite meal before all this, now he can’t even look at an egg. Try to have a variety of things to offer, some work, but his usual favorites are no more. We are now trying to eat some sort of protein snack every 2 hours. He finds it so hard that he can’t even think of what he might enjoy anymore.
Is your husband still receiving chemo? I hope his recovery is swift and your lives can move past this with only better moments. Thank you for all your suggestions❤️🙏
