Not sure if this is the place to post this....I'm six weeks (almost seven) out. On mushy's, I'm finding eating food is a challenge. I can not find one thing that is appealing. I smell it and its like oh that smells so good but when I eat it, It's like yuck!!!! Is this normal???? I hope so. I barely can eat anything on my list that is allowed. My taste for food has so changed since being sleeved. I could see this as a positive. :D Any insight as to why this has happened so that I can understand and know what to expect.

I'm only 2 weeks out from surgery but from what I've read that's not abnormal at all :) Hopefully you will have more to eat when you get on solids. For now maybe try adding in syrups or try new things, the recipes section may have more info for you too!

I too had a great difference in taste, and at 4.5 months out I still don't enjoy many of the foods I used to. I don't know if its all psychological or if there is a physical aspect of it too.

Take advantage of it and ween yourself off all the foods we should no longer eat.

Thanks Rootman.

What I can not tolerate is almost everything on my list. I did not deviate from what my doc recomended. I can not stand canned tuna in Water, baked skinless chicken or any type of mayo. Even sf pudding taste like salt to me. The one thing I can eat is soft scrambled egg with a pinch of shredded cheese. Go figure. I can eat fresh grilled fish and sometimes that doesn't taste good. So I will just have to work with it. Hopefully I will be able to eat my Protein instead of drinking my Protein. I have no desire for any type of "bad carbs" I haven't had any starches of any kind since a week before surgery. Truely I like this part. No cravings is so awesome. :D Thanks again.

      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.
