Is it common to lose your appetite after a breast reduction?

November 13, 2015
Asked By:1908372

I had my breast reduction yesterday at 1:00PM and wasn't allowed to eat anything that day before my surgery. I came home and went right to sleep and now I seem to have no appetite. Is that normal? I haven't taken any of my prescribed meds yet because my pain is about a 2/10 so it can't be a side effect of that. Any advice on eating? Thanks!
