I am sick (yet again), sore throat that turned into a cold/upper respiratory infection type mess..

Anyway, when I get sick I notice I lose any appetite that I have, food doesnt look appealing at all. Anyone else notice this loss of appetite during illness? I try to drink shakes when I am sick because its the only way I feel like I can get in any form of adequate nutrition..

Sigh..Cough

I am sick for the first time since surgery and it's the same thing. I'm trying to eat because I am realllly weak and that's not helping me recover. Today is day 5. This dumb **** was coughing and sniffing all over me at Rocky Horror Picture show the other night, I figured she had allergies, because WHO would do that to someone? Turns out people will. ***** I have been able to eat scrambled eggs mostly. Some crackers with PB and SF jelly - not something I would normally eat, but I need the fat/calories/protein. Plus my two Premiere shakes. Sigh. Get well soon.

Exact same thing for me. And I can tell you it has not been like this before. I used to joke I never lost my appetite, but now-totally! I too have a sore throat, turned to chest ick, and I could care less about food. I know I am not getting nearly the protein or calories I need, but I can't force it down. Just what we need, shrunken mini stomachs, lol!!!!

I know exactly what you are talking about. I have no appetite at all when I’m not feeling well. I started adding emergen-c to my water and protein shakes to help boost my immune system. I found since surgery I seem to get sick faster, before I could feel it coming and fight it off. Now it feels like, I have the sniffles or a cough one day and the next day I’m laid out with a cold or flu.

Sorry you are sick again, I hope you feel better soon Sassy

I was only sick one time so far....(knock on waffle's head...ha ha!) I think I always lose my appetite when I get sick......I don't feel it has changed for me. Then again I don't really get hungry.....at all any more. Get back to your "sassy" self soon!
