I am about 6 weeks and still find it extremely difficult to eat food. It's not that it doesn't go down ok, but I have no desire to eat and nothing really tastes good. Never in my life did I think food wouldn't taste good...lol. Just curious if this is a phase or does your taste buds really change and you don't enjoy things that use to. I am really struggling to get in my protein...I can only get about 40 grams in right now.

I get my Protein in in one shake a day. I bought amplified wheybolic extreme 60. I get the chocolate and to me it tastes like chocolate milk even mixed with Water. I get it at GNC and it has 60g of protein in it. My motivation for getting it all in is my constant fear of losing my hair. Lolol that is always on the forefront of my mind. I don't have much of an appetite but I eat to keep my metabolism running higher.

Hi Smileygirl. I just came on here to post almost the same exact comment you had. I was sleeved on 3/26 and when I was just before and just after a month out, food tasted good...but it seems like the past week - two weeks nothing tastes good to me. I still get hungry - but as soon as I sit down to eat something, I have no appetite for it and if I do eat it, it doesn't taste good. I get about 3 bites in before I'm done.

I use the Oh Yeah! Protein Shakes. I have one in the morning for Breakfast and try to supplement the rest of the Protein in with fish or chicken. I think I am getting about 50-60 grams of protein in a day. Make sure you try your hardest to get the amount in because it can prevent your hair falling out, which I have heard usually happens around month 3. Do you use protein shakes at all?

Do you add all three scopes? I can you have it with fat free milk? They are pretty expensive do you know if they ever go on sale

The three scoops make up the 60g of Protein. If you have the GNC card, you can get a canister for about $45 and it lasts over a month. I believe you can mix it with milk. I never have because dairy slows my progress down.

Also you can mix 1.5 scoops at a time. You just have to cut down the liquid to 6oz instead of 12oz. I do the whole 12oz because it also counts as 12oz of liquids that you need to drink. :)

I usually drink half in the morning after my workout and then the other half in the evening if I don't get in all my Protein through eating. I just put it in the fridge and let it get real cold for the evening. Or I drink the rest as a snack.< /p>

I just found the Oh Yeah Protein shakes. They are so good.

I get the Oh Yeah! Protein Shakes already made in bottles. A case of them (12 shakes) is $40 @ GNC, but sometimes you can find places that will have them cheaper. A physician assisted weight loss clinic that is in my town has the case for $35...they can be expensive, but it replaces 1-2 meals a day for me...so I just look at it like that :)

My desire to eat is weird. It comes and goes, but it's more a mental thing then physical.

I was sleeved on Jan 3, and I have no appetite, either. I start each morning with an Atkins coffee shake and try to supplement my Protein with chicken, fish, cheese, and beef throughout the day. But nothing tastes good. Right this moment, I am struggling to get through a half cup of homemade chicken salad....

      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.
