Takeisha, I hope you stay hydrated. You may want to consider drink supplements like Ensure or Boost as meal substitutes. Carnation Instant Breakfast also provides nutrients, though none is as good as eating healthy foods.

Adkins makes some nice protein shakes (Adkins Strong) with plenty of protein in them, & so does Premier Protein. I order both off Amazon. It helps with getting nutrients when I'm just not hungry. I also got some Nuun electrolyte tablets to add to what I am drinking. I definitely keep hydrated. I typically eat one meal a day and drink a protein drink for breakfast. I get not feeling hungry.
I'll usually spray a piece of bread with olive oil and heat for a few seconds just so I can take my drugs. Oh and drink a lot of water-dehydration scares me
