Hungry but don't want to eat............
| Fri, 02-24-2006 - 8:52am |
I feel a bit hungry but the thought of eating makes me sick for some reason. It could be all the meds I am taking, but how do you eat if the thought of eating makes you sick? The only thing that sounds appetizing to me is junk, some of my fave norm foods the thought of disgusts me. I am not a big chocolate eater these days but that is all I want lately. This med I am taking for my throat is so nasty that chocolate is the only thing that kills the taste in my mouth so I take it and grab some hershey kisses and a diet coke to kill the taste, bad thing is I have to take it 4 times a day. ARRRGGHhh...
Guess it could be worse, I could want to eat nonstop like I was with the steroids.
Oh well just wanted to vent...

Hi Angela:
I can understand about being too sick to eat; last week I had this awful cough and I felt awful. I lost my appetite which was not good for me because it was a shock to the old system and I know that my body thought 'hmm Hy's starving, let's start storing fat boys!".
But I stuck it through, what I found for me was Wonton Soup (minus the wongton). It was hot and kinda tasteless but there was something about it that hit the spot so I lived on that for a couple of days with unsalted crackers.
You mentioned that you are on a lot of medications, have you talked to your doctor about your appetite? Maybe there is some dosage adjustment or adjustment that he could do for you. My mother (God bless her) would always say to us 'You dont have before you dont ask!
So perhaps (if you have not already done that) that may be some help to you.
I hope that you get a solution soon my dear. I know you want to move forward with your weight loss and how frustrating being sick must be because you are not able to eat the stuff you would like to eat. It will get better.
Sending hugs in Him,

the medicine is just a temporary thing, so I think I will stick it out. NO i haven't talked to the dr cuz this is the first day I felt like this. I did finally eat a little something. Wasn't hungry but ate something anyways. Thanks for you input,

OH I have to take it for another week and half, but the appetite came back full force, now I can't stop eating though I have been trying.......Oh well. I am a mess LOL but I am going back to working out this week. Wish me luck that I stay well this time and can continue.
