You should : be feeling back to normal, unless you had complications such as a ruptured appendix. See your surgeon and find out what is wrong. Good luck!

Appendectomy: Sorry for your struggle. Please be patient- the surgery is "simple" but the recovery can take a while. Please be sure to get examined by the doctor to reassure you tat the surgery was successful and that there are no complications. Your appetite should return shortly if all went well
