Decrease in appetite?

Well, I was able to eat a bit more, and I am not sure if it is because I was so sick or not, but this past week, I have noticed a decrease in my appetite. Nothing sounds good at all, and nothing tastes really good. I am finding it hard in this past week to get in enough protein because I am not hungry at all. I have increased my water intake, and I don't feel bad, I just know I am not getting enough protein..... Anyone else had this?

yep, there are days when I could care less if I stuck anything in my mouth. When this started happening for days on end though I became concerned. I was also having bathroom issues- if nothing was coming out= nothing more was going in. So I am on Benefiber daily now and this has helped my situation, mostly anyways. Sometimes I just have no appetite at all. I haven't had any luck with protein supplements at that point either, everything gagged me, if I could get past the smell and get it in my pouch it didn't stay there long. I recently found a good protein supplement though and I am so glad I have, on the days I find myself unable to eat enough protein this supplement is great, only 3oz's and 25 g's of protein! I usually end my day with that, and my goodness it has slowed the hair loss down for me also. If you want to check it out, go to my www and you can find it from there. hugs and good luck, Vickie

I sometimes go through this. When I get into a "food funk" and nothing sounds good I just make sure that I get in 2 protein shakes and one protein bar. That ensures that I get at least 60g of protein even if I don't make myself eat anything else with high protein content. I think it's normal to go through phases like this. Food will sound good again - just make sure you use some suppliments until it does! Deb

We share the same surgery month. I too have had the same thing this week. No appetite, nothing is what I want. There isn't alot that I really enjoy since surgery. They weren't kidding when they said our tastes will change! Melinda
