This was normal for me too. Just the thought of eating made me sick. Even though all I wanted to DO was eat. It was a real quandry for sure. I think it's the dissapointment we feel when we DO eat something,as it rarely is the same, and the anxiety of KNOWING it will never be the same. Somehow we all move past it and the new norm sets in. Funny how quickly and easily I was able to go from thinking juicey steak when I was hungry to thinking "yummy soft scrambled eggs with green peppers, onions and lots of cheese!". This will pass, trust us.
Love,
Minnie
