Postpartum appetite loss

So I went through recovery last March and was ok. Got pregnant in October and was fine with food my whole pregnancy. I gave birth (c-section) three weeks ago and now I have no appetite at all. I have no “eating disorder” thoughts. Apart from loosing the baby weight, but nothing like before! I just don’t know what to do. Did anyone ever experience this. I’m not sure if it’s down to the trauma of my section. And I’m Brest feeding so I’m trying to eat to keep that going but am literally not hungry. I don’t want to force myself to eat because that will not help in relation to my ed.

I had a peak in appetite right after my c section but then it dramatically decreased after 3-4 weeks pp. I’m BF too so even though I might not feel hungry I try not to skip meals to keep my calories up. I started drinking nutritional supplements and bought simple nutrient rich snacks to eat too on those days it gets too busy. how did it play out for you??
