no appetite

seems as if I am losing my appetite lately instead of gaining it. Has anyone had that problem. I have had to add protein to my yogurt for the first time this last week or so in order to get enough protein. I just dont seem to have any appetite I just plain dont want to eat and when I do it seems as if I get yukky feeling. I had more of an appetite when I first came out of surgery then now. and my blood pressure is dropping. any suggestions or ideals help is appreciated.

Hey Rie Rie, I'm 11 weeks post op and have absolutely NO desire to ever eat again. The thought of eating sometimes meakes me nauseous. I have yet to get to 60 grams of protein as protein drinks make me dump. I have to force myself to eat anything and sometimes, it only serves to make me sick and then I can't get my fluids in. I'm horribly weak and I've already been hospitalized once for dehydration. I've talked to a lot of post ops that tell me "this too shall pass", but doggonit, I am so OVER feeling like crap all the time. In other words, I don't have any sage advice for you but I can certainly empathize. *hugsnluv* Phyl 414 Pre surgery 390 date of surgery 328 today

Marie, I did go through this phase. I ate on a schedule, appetite or not. I knew I had to to maintain my health. This does go away...I miss it though...now I'm hungry all the time. Please be sure to get in your nutrition whether you want to or not so you will stay healthy! Good luck! Lori
