6 Weeks Post Surgery

[lisath 0]

I am 6 weeks post surgery. Everything healed well, but I have lost my appetite. I am still not on fresh fruit and vegetables or fiberous meats, but nothing is tasting good. My appetite was fine a week ago and I was actually looking forward to the new types of food I could eat at 5 weeks, but it is gone. I can eat 2 bites of something and next time I think about eating it, it makes me nauseated. Is this the after affects of anesthesia? or is this something that you experience from the surgery? Any ideas?

I am 4 weeks out and feel similar. I have no desire to eat at all. When I force myself to eat, it is only a few bites and thats it. I am trying to stick to calorie dense proteins(chicken, Jerky cut up small) to get in as many calories as I can. I also drink the low cal G2 gatoraide to get some carbs for energy.

thank you so much! It sounds like not very many people experience this. I am going to try to get some gatoraide, see if that helps.

I am only a week out and I am experiencing something similar. Nothing tastes good. I am hoping this is temporary because it will make getting my fluids and Protein in very difficult.
