Loss of Appetite After Operation Posted: 02-02-07 14:31pm
My appendix was removed last sunday, and I
have for the most part been quickly
recovering. However, recently (the last
day or so) I feel like I am loosing my
appetite and just slightly nauseous. I
am eating small meals, but I don't really
feel hungry. I am having pretty normal
bowel movements, with no real issues. I
have also had slight discomfort in my
stomach, but I have a history of gerd and
stomach acid issues, which is what is
feels like.
Should I be concerned?
One thing to note is that I do take
ritalin and strattera and I just began
taking them again two days ago. I know
that they can affect my appetite, but this
seems to be more so then what I am used to
from the medicines.
Considering you have other problems I
wouldnt be too worried and starting those
meds. Some can cause appetite decrease but
Id still go to the dr to get it checked
out to make sure thats all it is and
nothing serious.
