I lost my taste for many foods during my treatment for stage IV lung cancer, especially for bread and similar foods as well as chocolate. As a consequence, I lost 30 pounds. When my taste finally returned, I slowly began to put weight back on, much to my oncologists relief. Using marijuana as a seasoning helped my appetite.

I lost my taste for bread. It became somewhat repulsive and I lost quite a bit of weight, in large part due to that. I tried using marijuana as a seasoning in certain foods and that did help some. But once my chemo/immunotherapy was completed, my appetite came roaring back. You just have to find what works (and tastes) best for you. For me it was soup.

It's the treatments that change everything. I was an avid cook before cancer now my kitchen is quiet. Nothing tastes the same. Eat what you want when you can, that's what works for me. Just passing it along. Candy bars and gum and candy in general are big for me. 3 meals a day are gone. Stay Well!

My taste buds have actually become more acute when it comes to spices. Sweets taste sweeter, salty foods taste saltier, etc. For instance, I have trouble drinking Ensure if it isn't "on the rocks" as it tastes too sweet.

Yes, yes yes. I used to love salty snacks, could eat a bag of chips at one sitting. Pretzels, peanuts. Now I have no interest but I can't get enough watermelon also, skip the salt. And I now I love sweets, chocolate chip cookies, strawberry shortcake and ice cream.
