Will I ever get my appetite back??

My morning sickness has subsided and so have my nightmares but my appetite has not come back! I only enjoy a select few things and cannot even choke down most things. Even things I enjoy like yogurt and spaghetti I could not get myself to eat today. My husband is getting frustrated with me and so am I! Does this ever go away?! I keep losing weight and I know that is not ideal! I think it has something to do with my lack of appetite. One thing I cannot handle are milk products! I am supposed to drink 32oz of milk a day and I can't do it! I can't even stand my calcium chews. It leaves this thick nastiness in the back of my throat that never goes away. I would give just about anything (except for all the weight I've lost! lol) to reverse my wls for just 1 day so I can eat a normal meal and enjoy it! I don't even care if it's healthy. But to just be satisfied and full, that would be amazing!! Does anyone else have this problem?? Does it ever go away??

I'm glad you are feeling better. I can relate to the lack of appetite. I have to force my self to eat anything.(and I'm not pregnant.) I pray that things get easier for you. And keep me posted on you and the lil'ones progess. Take care my friend!

I have found that the longer I go between eating the harder it is to eat. Sounds strange I know. If I have breakfast, a snack, lunch, a snack I am good - in the time it takes me to finish my day and get home and make dinner I eat 2 bites and am so done! IT is strange, I am down about 7 pounds since I found out that I was pregnant. I have been compensating with 2 pre-natals instead of 1 (I was switched to 1 because I was absorbing 2 too well)

Oh and my Dr told me to eat whatever works - if it is peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for a week at least it is something! And yes, I had PB&J On white bread (1 slice) for dinner every night for almost 3 weeks because it was all that sat! Tonight I wanted french toast in the worst way so that's what I had and not 10 minutes later I was in teh bathroom throwing it up.... just do what works! Maybe a protein shake will work? If the dairy bothers you maybe soy, rice or almond milk??

Hope you feel better!
