Loss Of Appetite

A MyBCTeam Member asked a question 💭
Medfield, MA

I am 3 weeks post bmx. I am off the painkillers but still on the antibiotics. The drains are gone and the holes have healed. I still am nauseous every day. I have no appetite at all. Before this, I had a normal, healthy appetite. Now I can't bear to think of food much less eat any. Has anyone else had this? I didn't have this issue with the lumpectomy. Does anyone have suggestions for feeling better?

I had to ask my partner to help me with suppositories, because I couldn't reach anywhere. I quit the pain pills after the first week because of the "lack thereof." Dr. Oz says you have to poop! :-)

Also get some fiber so you keep regular. A fiber bar is helpful or maybe oatmeal with raisins.

It is probably the side effects from the anesthesia. Eat a clean diet meaning mostly vegetables and fruits. Read about alkaline diet.
