how do i start eating again?
i have lost five pounds in two days. i have eaten very, very little since our baby got sick and now that she is gone i still have no desire to eat. besides being repulsed by food, when i do eat it just goes right through me and so that doesn't make me want to eat either.
i know it sounds silly but this has NEVER happened to me so i don't know what i should do. should i try to eat (and what?) or just wait until my appetite comes back?
Me:39 Dx LPD, Fibroid, AMA and all that goes with that. H:37 Dx low motility and low morphology. TTC since 3/12. Clomid 8/12 and 9/12: BFN. 11/12 on a break for Myomectomy sched. 11/26. Resume TTC early 2013.
Re: how do i start eating again?
I would treat it the same as a stomach bug and eat small amounts of bland food - crackers, bread, sprite.
This. There is a nasty stomach bug going around too. Maybe you have a touch of it on top of all of your stress. As long as you are drinking dont worry about the eating part to much. Get some Gatorade or other electrolyte drink. Try some yogurt too.
I would try this too. When my dad passed away, I was the same way - this is never how I deal with stress, but apparently it's how I deal with death. Normally I eat, eat, eat when I'm stressed - but I barely ate for a month after he died. I would just try to eat small meals whenever you can, the rice at chipotle is always a good one for me when I have no appetite, or buttered noodles.
Good luck. You did the right thing, even though it hurts right now. So sorry about your sweet little kitty
I dread the day when I have to go through that.

Ditto. I think once you're ready you'll be able to eat again.
thanks guys. i just ate some cantaloupe and am starting to feel a little hungry again. i will get some gatorade, too.
i'm sorry about your dad, jessica. i didn't realize he had passed away even though it may have been pre-may 08.
Thanks - it was WAY pre-May 08 though. I was only 15 at the time - so it's old news
My reaction to it, as far as food goes, was definitely surprising though - most people say they eat more if they are grieving. Not me though, and I guess not you either. Feel better.
