Lost appetite since surgery

Since I had my op a week ago today, I’ve completely lost my appetite. I usually eat like a horse and have to try and resist food all the time, so this is really wierd. Don’t get me wrong, it’s actually quite nice to not be craving all the time – and it’s good seeing as though I can’t exercise, I’ve even lost a few pounds! I have to force myself to eat good things to help me to recover well. Just wondering if anyone else had this, and when I’m likely to feel hunger / want to eat? xx

Omg I hope I get this! Haha xxx

Since I’m less post op than you can’t help with when it might come back but just wanted to say you’re not alone! I can eat but I just don’t want to at all, I thought it might have been coz I stopped the pill before my op but I normally eat soooo much as well! Xx

Me too Beth don’t feel like eating at all xx

It’s quite nice for a change actually! I was worried before op cos I’ve seen on here that loads of girls get really hungry for comfort food and put on weight after…but I’ve had the opposite! Last night I got my hubby to go and get me some chips for tea, and when he bought them back I had literally 5 chips and couldn’t mannage the rest. Before I would have had the whole pack and more! xx

omg i hope i get this too haha! i eat so much xx

I literally had to force feed myself a tiny bowl of pasta for tea. This is so weird! xx

I’m 5 days PO and am the same, I think it must be because of the bloating I’ve still got. I usually snack all day but can barely manage a meal x

I hope I get this aswell! Haha gonna kill me not going to the gym!! x

I am literally the same, I am not hungry and get a little peckish but not enough to eat, if I dont eat when that happens I get reqlly shaky and and can do nothing. I now eat when I know I should, breakfast, luncht etc, even though I have no feeling of hunger just to stop the shitty feeling when I dont.

I think its the antibiotics but I took my last one Wednesday morning and its still the same now, not complaining though as a bit of weight loss is always handy especially when ive put a few pounds on with these new boobs

If got this and to make it worse I have a big blister on the back of my throat since the op.

Really hurts to eat. I’m still really bloated all day long. I feel like I’ve eaten a hole cow. Lol

And drinking so much fluid.

Yeh I’m super thirsty all the time too. Zera, your blister sounds painful Is it from the tube during surgery? Xx

I had same thing after my op and I had a v swollen throat too where they cut the back of it with the tube, it came back after a couple of weeks x

wow i hope i get this.

Omg did they tell you they’d cut it ? Cause they said nothing to me

My throat is really sore.

Lol maybe they did it so we won’t get fat dew to lack of exercise lol

They didn’t tell me which is a bit bad, I moaned it was sore and my mum said it was normal til she looked and it had been cut, was horrible to look at, couldn’t swallow properly for over a week, so lucky I didn’t have an appetite really cos I wouldn’t have been able to eat anyway! I lost almost half a stone after my op but it’s all gone back on now 5 months later :o((

I had my op on Monday and 7 days PO tomorrow and I have just got my appetite back today, feel great and can finally manage a meal, no. MOre sickness hey sx

I hope this happens to me, I eat when i’m nervous so I’m not looking forward to not eating on surgery day! lol x

I’ve been exactly the same!!!! I know wen I need something because I go really dizzy and weak!!!! But can’t eat a lot. I seem to b wanting to eat a lot of fruit. Think it’s all the painkillers and antibiotics. Xx

Thats what it was like for me swoodward75!

But the bad news is, my appetite is back now (day 10 PO), with a vengeance lol. Just had two bagels with butter for breakfast, yum.

Ah well, good while it lasted. Enjoy it girls! xx
