i just want to thank each and everyone that responded to my discussion about cooking. i am glad i am not the only one that is going thru this. i will be going to my carologist friday i am going to ask him for medication you see when i first got sick when i came out of the hospital i weight 50 pounds. and never hungry i did not want to eat anything. he gave me pills to get my appitite( spelling_ back it seem that the pills really helped me because i could not stop eating he had to take me off them. i have 2 grown children so i do not cook for them they have their own family so it is just me. again thanks for the response good luck to each and every one of us
