Hi peeps got zero appetite is this normal im worried xxx

MikeM

It is normal in detox.

You don't give much info. What is your situation?

Sorry Mike

I sent a long post and it failed to send so I sent a quickie in case it happened again!

Im on day 6 of being sober but all I can drink is fizzy pop and I have got zero appetite! I just wondered if that was normal hun xx

Welcome spadge....... I had absolutely zero appetite in early sobriety. I had to force myself to eat,. My diet consisted of sparkling water and Hearts of palm straight out of the can or jar. When I could stomach that I started adding a small amount of fruit and soup ( just broth in the beginning )... Little by little my appetite returned. That's just my experience, but If you're very concerned you should see your doctor.

Just a tip. After you've written your post, copy it into Notepad. This site sometimes has a glitch and you can lose what you wrote.

Zero appetite on day 6 is not uncommon. Increased appetite isn't either. It depends on the person.

Keep hydrated first of all. And do make yourself eat healthy foods. Even if you have no appetite, you still need them.

If tomorrow you still can't eat, go see your doctor immediately. Not eating for that long can cause real problems.

Thank you so much guys! I will try and have a cup a soup. Mike I am seeing my psychiatrist on Tues so hopefully he can advise.

Thanx again nice to know its normal tho - could do with losing some weight!!!

My appetite was spotty in early recovery. Now it's normal and healthy. See your doctor if it persists.

I hope that you feel better and your appetite increases.

MikeM

That's great! Make sure you drink enough water as well.

Will do Mike - fizzy pop isn't the best thing to drink is it! xxx
