13 DPO no appetite and not thirsty



Recommended Posts

Is this normal? or is it because I'm still in a lot of pain.

The pain is my lower left quadrant and no pain meds will touch it, no tylenol, muscle relaxers, no amount of walking, ice therapy (I haven't tried heat yet) is helping.

No appetite

I'm still working on my Protein shake from Breakfast. I have no appetite and I'm not thristy.

I haven't poop because of my lack of appetite. (I'll drink some hot lemon Water before bed) I'm regular, I think my body is hating me right now.

I'm taking my Vitamins and lovenox and all my other meds, even though my blood sugars aren't decreasing, so I had to add one of my insulins back to get it back under control.

I had an appetite and I was drinking my fluids on Sunday, the lost of appetite happened yesterday evening.

Is this normal?

most people lose their appetite/hunger for a few months after surgery. A small minority lose theirs forever (I hoped and prayed I'd be one of those, but no....). Mine came back at six months out. For others, it's more like a year. But for most people, it does come back at some point. Take advantage of not having it - it's *really* easy to lose weight when you're never hungry!!

@@Jade99 Regardless of no appetite or thirst - you need to try and get in the recommended Protein and fluids. You should be sipping all day. You can become dehydrated very quickly.

Call your surgeon about the pain and see what they recommend.

I'll definitely do that. Thanks

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
