I am 5 weeks out. I really haven't had much of an appetite lately. I make sure I drink my protein, but I am not eating much at all. Maybe a piece of cheese here and there. I am getting all of my protein and fluid, vitamins, etc. I almost can't stand the thought of food. I am not nauseated, just not hungry. Am I crazy? Thanks. Deb

I know several friends that have the same issue. So, no I don't think you're crazy. I wish I had your problem. I still get hungry and I still will crave foods that are not on the list ...probably won't be anytime soon. Barb

Hey... I'm not feeling hungry either... i'm not on liquids, i'm eating 3 meals a day (for a total of 6 oz of food). I have to force myself to eat. Food doesn't really interest me right now either... I think everyone is different! Keep up with your vitamins and your protien... we all really need it!

Nope, honestly, I think you're scared to try real food. It is scary at first to try and make sure you get everything chewed to applesauce consistency and wondering if you'll be able to. You really do need to try and each more foods though, just to even get use to eating foods and chewing. It's not bad, just make sure you chew. I'm not hungry either, but make sure I eat something every 4 - 5 hours so my stomach isn't too empty as that will make it easier to over eat. Perhaps make yourself a daily menu will help you to get in more foods. Pam
