Am in need of some suggestions for nutritional diets. I have spoken with some dietitions and they have given me some tips and some reciepies.
Just prior to the start (approx 3 weeks) I went to the dentist with what I was fully aware of a lot of bad dental problems. From the exams, x-rays and recommendations of 2 dentists who told me I should highly consider having dentures made. I opted for this and went to an Oral Surgeon to have all of my remaining teeth extracted. I was then fitted with Temporary Dentures which I had some problems with due to the surgery and resultant small bone spurs protruding through the gums.
Then this lung cancer came into the picture and the weight loss shrank the gums further and the sores do not allow the wearing of the Temporary Dentures and until there is some results from treatment and the sores are taken care of the dentist says it is a waste of time and money to have the permanent dentures made. In the meantime I am trying to exist on Milk Shakes fortified with Protien, soups, soft type foods and gumming what I can and still losing weight (which is not concerning the ONC at this point) I certainly would like to have some weight type gaining foods that maybe I can find palatable due to the bad taste of food, any suggestions (I am aware you are not dietitions, but what have you experienced?) Please no Ensure. It makes me deathly ill
Thanks
Dick
