i’ve been maintaining within 2 lb of my goal since last October. Last week I had a few days of tramadol after a root canal. I kept tracking like usual. My appetite went missing for two days, then came back with a weird salt craving.
I also skipped my afternoon walk twice because I was drowsy. The scale didn’t really move, but my trend line flattened, and I noticed I was short about 30g of protein on those days. Nothing dramatic; it just reminded me that pain, sleep, and medication all talk to hunger.
I went back to normal meals once I felt better. Has anyone else had a short medication detour mess with appetite or routine, and how did you keep the data from spooking you?
