Oh the "joys" of chemo taste changes. Nothing tastes right. It's pretty frustrating. My appetite is strange. Hungry, not hungry. Can't decide. Even if something sounds good, it doesn't necessarily taste good. It's like being pregnant with weird cravings, but then things don't taste the way they should. What a disappointment!
Things that are sweet taste fairly normal, but things that are savory taste weird or bitter. I don't crave a lot of sweet things right now (first time in my life!) so that makes it challenging. Salty things taste pretty good... my latest favorite is fritos.
I'm really trying to eat and drink to keep my body healthy. I know how important hydration is but I'm struggling with that too. I've tried a variety of drinks... they've told me any kind of clear-ish liquids are good. I can't drink coffee anymore- just tastes weird. I've switched to tea in the morning and it's just not as satisfying, but oh well.
All in the name of getting healthy! Sorry this was a bit of a rambler....
