Anyone have a complete loss of appetite post-partum?

Question

This is so crazy but food is completely unappealing... I don’t know why 😫 it all started immediately after birth. I could honestly go all day without eating. I have to force myself to eat... and it doesn’t taste good. Nothing does. Anyone experiencing this? I don’t feel sad, but I read this could be PPD?

Answer

Same here. I force myself to eat because I pump but I feel you I can go all day without eating and be fine

Answer

IM EXPERIENCING THIS! Im 2 weeks PO and I’ve been going 1-2 days without eating ANYTHING 😖😖

Answer

I thought this was just me!! I think it started when I was just too busy too eat and just lost my appetite! I’m 2 and a 1/2 weeks pp and gradually starting to get it back!

Answer

My appetite came back around 3 wpp. I barely ate one meal a day the first week! I just wasn’t hungry and didn’t have time anyway lol

Answer

I think that your mind is just preoccupied on baby and in the beginning is hard to find time to eat or get food cause your life revolves around baby. Like I needed my SO to make and bring me food obviously I’d feed myself over my baby while breastfeeding. But the first two weeks of breastfeeding I was stuffing my face and starving all day long. I ate like three boxes of cookies. 😂

Answer

Nothing sounds appealing except ice cream/frozen yogurt, gimme all that stuff. I didn’t eat until dinner yesterday because I wasn’t hungry (and didn’t think of it either since it was my first day alone with both kids).

Answer

Yeah my appetite is back now (3 weeks pp) but for a while it wasn’t. And the things I liked before don’t really sound appealing anymore

Answer

The first few days after birth I had no appetite- nothing sounded good.. I had to force myself to eat.. it did gradually come back.. kind of around the time my milk really came in.. I suspect hormones..?

Answer

Yes, same. It’s funny, things I ate my entire pregnancy (bagels/cream cheese) don’t sound good at all.

Answer

How long has it been? I was like that for 2-2.5 weeks then my appetite slowly started to return. It’ll be a month on the 9th and I’m picky. Most things still turn me off, unfortunately the things I’m liking are carbs and candy lol.
