I guess you would have a terrible loss of appetite with no sleep for 6 days! I'm happy that you are seeing your Dr. on Monday! I know there's a food supplement drink, Ensure. Maybe you should try something like that until you see your Dr.

of course you can! but it does take some time. Your body will start to feed off of your muscle tissue to sustain itself when you aren't eating enough. If you are going to eat something, until the doctors can figure out what could be wrong, make sure it is something a bit more substantial than bagels and cream cheese. try veggies, or fruits, or grains. they will give you maximum nutrient intake, for the little you are able to eat. And get some vitamins!

Im very sorry approximately your dogs. I lost a dogs a pair years in the past and have self assurance me...I cried for days and days & only stayed in my room constantly. it is going to take time. yet your dogs is in a greater valuable place :) As for ingesting...thats fairly substantial. nutrition is like "gas" for our bodies. as quickly as we dont have adequate nutrition from nutrition...our bodies dont function mentally, bodily or maybe emotionally. whilst our bodies dont get the suitable volume of nutrition your immune device can go down and your at greater danger of having ill, which no person likes! try ingesting some snacks an afternoon...even in the experience that your no longer hungry. Your power will come magnificent back and your emotional component will perk up I garuntee. I recommend go get sometime like your popular dessert to ease your greif. :) desire this helped!

Well your body does need nutrients to live and calories to help it with its daily functioning. I think it could be really serious if you don't find out what's wrong soon. Sometimes that happens to me too, where I don't want to eat, but never for that long of a time period. I hope they find out what's wrong!

If you no longer eat...ever...yes you could die (Hello ever heard of anexoria?). Work with your doctor on finding a root cause for your lack of appetite. Good luck!

hun it's called starving to death. If you dont eat , you die eventually. Your body doesnt get the right amount of nutrients and you go into ogran failure.
