Loss of appetite

Posted , 2 users are following.

Has anyone else experienced loss of appetite due to fibroids? I eat maybe once a day and only take a couple bites and I feel full. Told my doctor today and was told to call him after my period to see if I’m still having these symptoms. Usually when on my period I eat everything in front of me and more ( I pig out)

    I am exactly the same. Like you said - no appetite exept for a few days prior to my period and when I am on my period for two or three days. I also then crave mainly carbs and feel like I can't get full.

    I actually lost 10kg in the last year (not that I want it to come back) but due to not eating you have no energy on top of the tiredness due to possible anemia. I had fibroid removal surgery a week ago, so hopefully it improves. 

    Good luck.

    Hey thanks for replying, I hope your recovering well 😀 my doctor told me to take a few days to think about surgery and even though I’m scared of the whole thing I think I’m pretty set on going through with it to better my health
