No desire to eat???

Since I have had my surgery I have had no desire to eat. I did not want to eat in the hospial and really have had no desire to eat since coming home (3 days now).

Has anyone else had this "problem"?

Suggestions anyone???

I have also noticed this, my doctor kept me on a liquid diet while I was in the hospital and I am almost 3 weeks out right now and still don't have any desire to eat. I consider this a good thing since I could use to skip a few meals.

I am 7 weeks post-op and I have slowly started eating again. I went for a few weeks on eating once a day. Nothing sounded good or seem to taste good either. Just make sure you eat a little something everyday.

Don't worry, your appetite will eventually come back, with a vengeance. At least mine did.

I would be just fine if it never came back!

AMEN on the never coming back!!!!

Thanks for the info ladies! I just do not want to eat, yet I am light headed if I don't. Toast has been what I am eating to take my meds. Although... for a few minutes I thought a Big Mac and fries sounded good... then I realized... I still can't drive

hi, i am 6 weeks today, finally, i found that i lost all sense of hunger and fullness, i just made myself eat 3 healthy meals a day, try to eat protein, it helps with healing and strength. my appetite and full feeling have returned.

I felt the same way and nothing looked good or tasted good, I then had my DH pick me up some Boost at the store and right after drinking a few of them I felt better and not so light headed. It takes awhile but no problems now, I still drink one Boost a day for protein.

I felt the same way. In the hospital I couldn't eat. I would take a bite out of something and be done. At home, I had to make myself eat something occasionally even though I wasn't hungry. And when I would eat something, I felt VERY full after a few bites and it felt like food would just sit there in my tummy.

Gradually your appetite returns. But I have lost the taste for a few things and I don't know what thats all about.
