Loss of Appetite

[mistynails 0]

I am not really sure if this is normal. I am having a hard time eating. Not because it won't go down or comes back up (Thank goodness I have not had a problem with that) but because I don't feel hungry and looking at food just makes me want to gag.

I was told that I was supposed to eat three meals a day but I have a hard enough time eating one meal a day. Is this normal?? I am worried that I will get sick from not eating. :help:

Im not sure if its normal.. but I just wanted to say that maybe you can just eat a healthy meal even though your not hungry or something light just for the nutrional value until you start to want food again.

I would also call you Dr. just to let him know you have no appetite and feel sick when thinking of eating.

Also another idea would be to take in protien shakes or something like it just to keep you having something in your system plus ofcourse your Water too.

Hope your feeling better soon

I think you will end up putting your body in starvation mode and will not lose weight. Call you doctor. You have to get calories in to lose.

I do have to admit that until yesterday I have not been taking Vitamins. The chewable multi-vitamins were making me sick. My pharmacist recommended that I take the Centrum liquid. He said that the reason the mulit-vitamin pills ususally make people sick is because they take so long to break down in the stomach that it can upset most peoples stomach. He said that the liquid is immediatly absorbed into the body. I started taking it yesterday and my stomach did not get upset.

The protien shakes make me really sick also. I have not yet found one that is easy on my stomach so I am not drinking those either. My poor stomach just does not know what to do.
