Appetite

[hazeybaby26]

Has anyone else lost their appetite I only can manage 2 mouthfuls and I am full . I do drink a lot because I am always thirsty not sure if that’s to blame

I have never had an appetite and have to eat something mainly a bowl of cereal when I do feel Hungary; however the longest time without eating has been two weeks but always thirsty

some meds can affect appetite.

That'll be me, although now i'm on a new med i'm hungry all the time but when i have food in front of me it's a struggle to eat.

As Des mentioned, some meds can affect your appetite but it can also wane when you become less mobile so if you gradually become less active then it's likely your appetite will decrease. However if you find you continue to have trouble eating then may be worth discussing with your GP. Take care lovely x

I'm the same Hun. I very often miss meals completely and if I didn't have to cook for my son I don't think I'd have an evening meal either. It's a blessing I have him to make sure I eat even if it's a tiny bit. It's not good to have meds on an empty stomach either Hun.
