What would you eat if you couldn't taste anything?

snip >Thank you. I do think she needs to be drinking some of those >nutritional drinks. > >Jill why? You just go on and eat the same foods that you did before. Stuff happens. I just got back from Costco and my lunch was marinated artichoke hearts and faux crab dipped in ketchup/horseradish sauce. I enjoyed the mouth feel of everything. I could taste the vinegar in the chokes and the ketchup/horseradish sauce with the krab.. She really shouldn't get into the habit of thinking that she needs special supplemental foods. After surgery, particularly brain surgery she is bound to be depressed and feeling sorry for herself (really, I can say that because I have been there) She needs to get back into normal habits as soon as possible or she will put herself back in the hospital. Explain to her about the sweet, salt, sour kind of thing. Encourage her to eat whatever strikes her fancy at any time of the day. If she's in her 70's and just had surgery she doesn't need the downer of being applauded for weight loss resulting from a life scary episode. Apparently she doesn't even have to worry about cancer coming back. I'd say she's good and should buck up. Sorry. That was a sermon and I didn't mean to preach Janet US |

She knows she needs to eat but it's just for sustenance, no enjoyment in it. If everything tastes like sand (her description) I can understand why she might not be getting essential nutrition. Oh, and she also doesn't enjoy cooking so she will take the path of least resistence. Jill |

A lot of his taste has come back after many years, but it was in phases; first salty, then sweet and finally bitter. Food still tastes off to him, and he used to really enjoy eating, but if nothing else, he lost weight and is in better shape now. He makes sure he gets good nutrition, but some of the joy and pleasure of eating has been lost for him. Not sure how I'd manage if I lost my taste... |
