Why the change in appetite @Sheldon Scott? Does it have something to do with your knee surgery? If so, I'll get both of mine done even though they're fine. J/K
I think it must be. I'm not only in pain but my stomach feels queasy or whatever the word is. I've lost nearly 10 pounds, which normally would be a good thing. Looking at your beautiful picture, I'd guess you don't need to lose any weight at all.
awwww Sheldon...I do hope this after surgery pain doesn't last too much longer and you get well soon... You know what if you're feeling queasy...and your other meds will allow you to take some more...go back and see your doctor...he may prescribe you some anti nausea meds...
Awww you're a sweetie Sheldon. But I do have a huge appetite and fight it constantly. If you do lose too much and it continues I would mention it to my dr. There's a world of meds out there that help with appetite and nausea.. Hope you're back to normal soon!!
I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing that @Sheldon Scott. It seems you should be out of pain and feeling better by now. When I was at the ER, they gave me Ondansetron, which is the generic for Zofran. It worked really well. I wish I had it on a regular basis. Emetrol is an OTC one that I've used in the past. Another RX one I've had is Phenergan. I hope you find out what the issue is and are feeling better soon. Relating to that, I haven't been able to eat much in the way of solid food other than toast, so I made a batch of chicken noodle soup yesterday. It really hit the spot, and I'm going to have some more for lunch and probably dinner today.
I was on the modified BRAT diet and soup for several days, but I had to cook up some meat I had defrosted before getting sick. It was cubed steaks, but they were so pounded that some of them fell apart, so I made some as 'chicken' fried pork steak, and others as pork burgers. I got hungry while I was cooking, and despite my crazy stomach issues, I decided to eat a bit. Surprisingly, greasy food, like lemon, can sometimes calm an upset stomach.
I haven't been eating too well the past few days because of some stress but it will pass. At least I'll be able to pig out on Thanksgiving. Only thing is I have to watch Advil on an empty stomach.
I know the feeling Chrissy. My appetite is getting better but still not up to snuff. I hope yours passes soon.
Thanks Sheldon.....hopefully we'll both be back to normal. Not that I mind a lack of appetite but Advil for my back and empty stomach isn't good.
That actually makes me hungry now....it's been awhile since I made meatloaf. Won't be making one today but will buy the stuff to have on hand....unfortunately it's on the warm side here and turning the oven on isn't appealing. And meatloaf is something I like in the oven.
