Who Would Have Thought I Would No Longer Want To Eat

[smileygirl 5]

I am just over three months out and eating is still a chore...I never really thought I would have to force myself to eat, but that is what I have to do. I really have not desire to eat anything and when I do, nothing tastes good. Does anyone else have this problem...does it pass with in time?

Yes, it will get better. It takes a good 6 months for your stomach to heal. I am 9 months out and life is so much better. I am almost to goal but surprised how the loss has slowed down. Enjoy the quick loss now. food will taste better but you will learn that a lot less tastes good too.

Eating has become just another chore for me. I'm committed to eating healthy, therefore most of the junk we add to make food taste good is really not an option for me. I find myself looking for the ways to get all my nutrients by consuming as little food as possible only because eating really is a pain in my butt! I be never once believed people when they said they viewed food as fuel. Now I can say thats exactly how I view it, even to the point of sometimes disliking the time it takes to fill up.

This literally makes me want to cry with joy!! (Although Day 2 of liquid diet hardly anything doesn't make me cry).

I understand about the liquid diet phase pre surgery. I had to change the channel when Burger King commercials came on. Now, if I actually Want a burger, all it takes is 3 bites without the bun and I am stuffed.

Yeah...I'm with you on this one. I am determined to get sufficient amounts of Protein and fluids every day. Once I hit 60+ grams of protein I almost rejoice...because I don't "have" to consume anything else for the day. I often have to force myself to eat a little something in the evening, just to reach 500 calories for the day. food, and eating, have become a hassle....something that has to be done, in order to stay healthy, but rarely enjoyed.
