Lack of appetite after delivery?

Question

My son will be 4 weeks in a few days. Since about 4 says post delivery (c section) I have had literally no appetite. I know it’s not healthy but I cannot get myself to eat more than like crackers or something really small a day. I don’t feel sad or depressed or anxious. I just don’t feel like eating. 
Anyone else experience this?

Answer

yes.  I have to force myself to eat because I'm breastfeeding and don't want to be too skinny.

Answer

I must have ended up will ALL of your lost appetites.  I am so hungry, my left arm looked tasty the other day!

Answer

Same here. I try to force myself to have at least one real meal a day

Answer

I had my baby 10 days ago and I still struggle with appetite. I also had a c-section. I just force myself to eat something whether it be a banana, a few sliced apples, lactation cookies (as I am breastfeeding and they are delicious) or just eating toast or a bagel. Something small and light. Try to just snack and see if you can do that before trying full meals. I try to eat a little of something every hour to hour and a half since I need the nutrition since I am breastfeeding. also make sure your water intake is where it needs to be. 8-8oz glasses a day if not breastfeeding and at least 96oz of water if you are breastfeeding. Dehydration can also lead to lack of appetite. If you are too concerned about it you can always call your doctor too and see what they recommend.

Answer

me too, nurse said it's hormones. she told me to just eat 1 bite every hour.

Answer

I had a vaginal delivery but I still feel this way. I have to force myself to eat and snack though because I’m breast feeding

Answer

I’m the same way! I’m drinking so much water it’s insane, but I really don’t get that hungry. I’ll eat like a banana in the morning and in the afternoon make myself a plate of carrots +hummus, apples, and then something for protein....and thats it...
