During my hospitalization, the one I refer to as "that time I was so sick", I lost 22 pounds (in 11 days).
When I got home, I had no appetite whatsoever. Dr. V even wrote, "anorexia" (but not nervosa) in my chart. I was also very weak and needed to eat. My husband did a great job of feeding me, but it was a challenge for him. Almost nothing sounded good and thoughts of food smells was disgusting. Also, my spleen was very swollen from the lymphoma and pressing on my stomach, making me feel full even after eating a few bites.
Here are the things I ate, almost exclusively, for about 6 weeks.
