Hi @doug85254 and welcome. It can take a while for an appetite to come back however it is important to keep your nutrition up, even if you feel full or dislike the taste of things, which is a common side effect. Is it that you are just never feeling hungry? How long ago since your surgery and did you have radiation or chemo as well?

Hi
Thank you for your input. I did not have radiation, but I have had four surgeries total. I do not have an appetite; I have lost my sense of taste, and I am having swallowing issues. The last surgery was September 18–about a month ago.
Again, thank you
