No Appetite

[joyous girl 2]

I had my surgery July 9th! I breezed through it never throwing up and never taking a pain pill! Here I am almost 6 weeks out and the last three days I can't hardly force myself to eat! I had a appetite up to then, but now the thought of good almost nauseates me! What do you do when his happens? I'm pretty much on all foods! Please don't suggest Protein Shakes or I will throw up! Any ideas would be appreciated. Yesterday I managed to get 500 cal down but only about 30 Protein. Therefore, I have no energy!

I was exactly like you when I started i breezed through the surgery and my recovery speed according to my doctor was miraculous. I think its your body coming out of shock mode like mine did i had an appetite then all a sudden just the thought of food made me sick I had to run to the bathroom every time i saw a mc donald's commercial.

I didnt even bother trying to eat food and because of that my energy level was six feet under. I knew i had to get something in me so i started with italian ices albeit not the best thing for you however they went down and I was able to get something in me, after that I tried Jello or pudding and beef broth. Its not much but it really does help. if you ever wanna check out anything about food or recipes n stuff i have a group Food facts just join in i try to keep all the healthiest links and recipes up!
