I just don't feel hungry and feel so sick all the time my husband rightly says I have to eat but I don't feel like it!! Pensive

  • Oh, poor you Slight frown. Of course, you know your husband is right, as you need to eat to stay strong - but it’s so hard to eat when you don’t feel like it.

    If it helps, I was told fried food and cooking smells generally make the nausea worse, and ginger (including teas and biscuits) and orange lollies/ fizzy drinks can help - and if you can only manage little and often, try to go with high calorie options.

    This might also help you with some ideas:

    I am currently being investigated but I am suffering with this as well the thought of food makes me actually heave and I love food. But even the weight loss isn’t helping I know I should eat but just don’t want it. One bonus is it’s made me give up smoking! 23 days today
