Not wanting to eat



Recommended Posts

It sucks. Every time I think of food and getting some nourishment I get a feeling like the flu in my belly and nothing sounds good. Stand-bys, like potatoes and creamed Soups, do not even sound good. And now, on top of it all, it appears I am becoming lactose intolerant. Went from having BMs that were like trying to pass a bowling bowl to now, as Jack Nicholson said in The Bucket List, "Never trust a fart." Or, for me, watch out when I sneeze. Ugh!

This is really the only down side recently. I am down 75+ pounds, working out, and feeling good. Clothes are from the verging on 4x size to a sometimes loose 2x. Pants from a expandable only 48 (so figure a 50+) to a 44. I just need to know others have had this and it will pass, no pun intended.

God I feel your pain about the bowling ball and never trusting a fart! It is so odd how so many of suffer in silence and don't talk about bathroom issues but I have a feeling many have issues and think they are alone because no one talks about them!

Hey you are not running a fever are you? I am just a little worried that you are suddenly getting pain right after you eat. Where is it? Is it in your abdomen? High like right under your breast bone? Any pain in your shoulders?

It does get better. I can pretty much eat anything I want. I had a piece of pizza last night with no trouble. The best part was that it filled me up so I had no desire to eat more while I watched my son and DIL polish off the rest of the large pizza.< /strong>

I never have pain or discomfort of any kind. I pretty much forget that I ever had sleeve surgery unless I eat too fast or don't chew my food. Then, it's uncomfortable.

I think you have some gastric problem.If you are not feeling to eat or after eating you are having pain ,I think you should get a thorough check of your stomach.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
