Which Hospital were you under.

Sorry to hear you have been poorly, and we all need to eat and drink.

L&D have referred me for counseling, as they are concerned that I will go from one extreme to the other.

We are all here to support you, so please keep us updated.

I'm sorry to hear your sad news. I think that anyone who went through what you have been through would not want to eat very much either. I had a straight forward op and was home within 2 days, but I have had to force myself to eat so that feeling of not wanting to eat is not as rare as you may think.
Losing so much weight in such a short time can cause you a lot more problems in the long run, so as hard as it may be please try to eat, even if you just stick to lots of fluids water and full fat milk if possible and try and eat a lot of full fat yogurt until you are better. I really hope that as your body heals you regain your strength and appetite.
To go through a bypass is traumatic enough, let alone suffer from the added problems that you did, your poor body must be in turmoil
Keep posting to let us know how you are getting on, I hope that we can all be here to help pull you through these dark days *Hugs*

Oh Sammy so sorry to hear that, you must be feeling dreadful, that is shocking, I am a creature of habit and never miss a meal time even if i am not hungry and never feel thirsty but do drink continuously. I am pleased you have been in hospital where they could assess you and see just what condition you are in. Now that is sorted they will be able to work with you to overcome the problem and lets hope 6 month down the line you will be loving your new body and feeling like it loves you xx take care we always here for you xx

So sorry to hear what you've been through. I imagine this happens more that people realise. When you have an unhealthy relationship with food I don't think it would be too hard to it to turn from too much to too little. Now you have a diagnoses I hope the NHS help you overcome this and find a way to have a balance. Hope you feel better soon. Lots of luck x
