    I went through spell of no appetite and nausea which eventually passed. Not loose stools though.

    Are you eating or had change in diet?

    Does sound like upset stomach and wonder if you picked up in hospital ?

    Hope it passes soon.

      How long did the nausea last ? I've phoned my hospital and they are giving me an anti sickness patch which lasts for 72 hours . See if that helps Thank you x

      3-4 days and had on 2 occasions.

      Also had few hrs of nausea in hospital and given anti nausea tablet. I think mine was due to meds though lying on back not helpful and taking ranitidine too.

      Hope patch helps

    HI lindabowles

    i had no appetite for the first after my operation also had a sick feeling, but phoned local pharmency who said pain killers were to strong for my stomach and to get anti sickness medication from my doctor which cleared it up in a couple of days. My appetite came back by the second week. hopefully you feel better soon xx
