I told him my stroke affected my ability to enjoy eating
That's quite a challenge. Are you truly unable to eat anything nice?
Yes, I'm unable to eat any food that is enjoyable.
I'm sorry you no longer are able to eat properly, but if it's bothering you so much you need to see a doctor and check if therapy is right for you. It's not fair for you to suffer like this when there's help around.
I'm not just saying this for my health. I also want to stop eating poorly.
Then it's very possible for you to get help in order to make your life better. How about contacting some physical therapists to aid you, you deserve to enjoy your life as you did before.
