Ok folks, this is the second day in a row that I am just not hungry and have no desire to eat. Yesterday I had 1/3 cup of chicken salad and 2 melba toasts and that wasn't until dinner time. Finally I ate a bowl of Sherbet thinking it might stimulate an appetite of some kind. Today I have been helping a friend from church move and all I've eaten is a spoonful of peanut butter (about 2tbl). I am not hungry at all and I'd rather take a nap than eat anything. Not even my favorite junk foods that always mess me up have any appeal. Has anyone else experienced this? Maybe I'm just getting sick and don't know it yet. I am also having a hard time getting in my water, just don't feel thirsty. So I am having to remind myself to drink.

Grab a few protein drinks so you can keep enough calories/protein in you, even when you don't feel like eating. Don't let yourself get malnourished. I go through times when it's not worth the hassle to eat, but I was told to keep up the calories and protein anyway, even if by shakes.....

No fever or pain yet, just fatigue so far. But with 5 kids to bring stuff home to you it could be anything. As long as it doesn't involve puking I'll survive. I have had a bad headache for a few days, a sinus headache. Maybe I'm getting my yearly sinus infection.

You have just described me durring my first trimesters when I got preggers!!! Any chance of that? You dont have to answer but, hmmmm.

My first thought was the same as Victoriana's!!! That was always the give away of being pregnant for me!!!!

If that is not an option, then I would force some extra Protein, and see if it doesn't give you some needed energy. And like you have been told, keep pushing the water---dehydration is only going to make matters worse.

Keep us posted!

Well considereing my husband has been snipped for some time now and I have PCOS I doubt very much there is a chance in hades I could be pregnant, I wish :girl_hug: I forced down some protien and ended the day at my minimum my surgeon wants me to have. But I didn't want to, and sadly I am still tired and very cold. I must be coming down with something and with my luck it will mean a trip to the doctor and having to remind him to prescribe small pills or liquid. And dealing with that nurse!

Maybe your lst fill is kicking in and you are a little too tight

Well if I was too tight I wouldn't be able to eat and I can eat just fine, I simply have no desire to. I have no symptoms of being too tight, no reflux, no PB's except the first one (was still swollen from the fill). I can eat between 1/2 cup and a cup at a time depending on the time of day, and I seem to have hit the spot where I am losing about 2lbs a week. Everything seems perfect with the band. Maybe I am just mental. CALL IN THE SHRINKS! lol

Before you call in the shrinks, go have blood work done---check your thyroid. The cold all the time makes me wonder about that. Besides it can't hurt!

Hang in there, us armchair docs will keep thinkin!!!

Thanks everyone if you see my thread "I need to vent" all the answers are there. No it is not my thyroid it was going without a medication that my doc's nurse failed to refill on time causing a cascade of problems of all sorts. I didn't realize till today that the two were at all connected.

Molly, whenever I am overly active I lose my appetite as well. But I've always considered it a good thing. Just eat your required Protein and don't worry about it, I'd say.

When I recently moved I lost 10 pounds within a week and a half or so. But trust me, the hunger returned.

In order to get in your protein I would definitely suggest you start your day with a protein shake. You can get in about 25 grams. Even if you start eating/drinking at say noon you will have enough time to get in more food as the day progresses. I would try and eat every 4-6 hours. Even a yogurt or some almonds. Good luck to you.
