Try these Suggestions to Improve Your Appetite:

Make meal time as pleasant as possible. Use attractive place settings and present foods in an appealing manner. If you find it enjoyable, add soft music and candlelight (only if you''re not using oxygen at the moment.) Do not discuss stressful topics at the dinner table.
Have frequent healthy snacks during the day. Keep them handy in places where you are likely to see them (kitchen table, end table, bedside table and in your pocket or purse). Snacks such as dried fruit, nuts and granola, if they are not too hard to chew, can help improve your health.
When you know you should eat, but you are not feeling hungry, try eating some of your favorite foods.
