Ok, so for the past week or so, the act of eating or even the thought of eating has become increasingly uninteresting to me. I am 7 weeks post-op tomorrow.
I honestly would rather not have to sit down and eat my x number of tablespoons of whatever as its been feeling like a chore. Its odd because the actual chore of preparing and cooking meals (for the fam) I look forward to. I also enjoy looking up and preparing single serve "meals" for myself and stacking them up nicely in the freezer. I just don't really care (or feel the need to care) to eat them.
I have been dutifully taking my vitamins/supplements and getting 2-3 litres of water in daily. I force myself to drink a protein shake (which I used to love but now barely stand) because if I didn't, my daily caloric intake would be close to zero. I haven't had my shake yet today, but so far I've managed to eat one teaspoonful of cottage cheese...and its 2pm.
I get about 8-9 hours of sleep a night.
Luckily enough I still have energy, and am able to get an average of about 10K of walking in a day (because I always feel better after I go out for the walks), plus whatever else I would normally do, but I'm sure this wont last if I continue this way.
While I don't exactly hate the fact that this food-aversion-thing I'm experiencing is showing itself on the scale, I just don't FEEL quite right. I don't feel "bad" or anything, I just feel "off".
I figure this is some sort of stage that will pass eventually?
P.S. I'm seeing my PCP next week for a previously scheduled appointment, so I guess my labs will help reveal whats up if anything.
