Appetite

[[Fa...]]

How is everyone's appetite? The first to weeks after CT, the thought of food made me nauseas but then I got my appetite back.  I'm at 8 weeks and feeling BLAH about food again.  I also have Strep throat,...so I'm sure that doesn't help.  Just looking for what others are experiencing or experienced with appetite and food.  Thanks!

Hi Faith,

 

My appetite has come and gone. Lost 10 pounds the first two weeks. Then it cam back just to go away on month 3 when I lost 10 more. Month 4 and 5 I lost another 10. This last week lost 5 more. Anxiety controls my appetite. If I feel good I can eat like crazy and well you know the rest. Definately take advantage when you have your hunger. Eat! Hope your strep gets better.

Thanks for sharing. It occurred to me that my body instinctively does not want food because it is diverting its energy to healing the gut or other areas rather than digestion. (I'm a health coach...should have known that....duh!) Just scares me a bit when I feel under nourished and am already at the right weight or just under and don't want to lose more.  So we can celebrate intensive healing when we don't want to eat, right?

These benzo's destroy the GABA receptors in our stomach and gut, so no appetite, IMO.
