Hey podmate --

Sorry to hear that things continue to be rough eating wise. I found through my troubles that the less I eat the less I want to eat. I think you have to find a balance between fluids and eating. I put myself on a schedule:

5:30 am -- 1/2 tin of Ensure (Dr. recommended) in small sips!

8 am -- at least 500 ml of water within an hour...more if you can do it.

10 am -- Eat something with protein (shake...anything that works)

Noon -- Eat again.

2 pm -- drink at least 500 ml of water within and hour...more if you can.

4 pm -- eat

6 pm -- eat

7:30 is -- drink as much water as you can before bed time

Last 30 minutes before bed -- 1/2 can of Ensure


This schedule has helped me. I don't necessarily eat much each time, but it seems to be helping to keep my system more in balance.

PS. Ensure isn't for everyone. I was suffering from malnutrition and my dr basically prescribed it. It's helped me get my head above water nutritionally.
