Shape_Shifter 83 Posted August 11, 2012 I feel your pain. I"m 8 days post-op and I haven't been able to enjoy anything I use to. Smells make me ill like im pregnant (maybe hormones?). Can't drink broth. Haven't tried tomatoe Soup. Gatorade sucks. Sweet Tea sucks. Craving salt terrible (sucked the salt off a Cheetos lol). I saw my favorite chicken salad in the store the other day and wanted it (i don't know how to make it well). I had 2 Tbl spoons of pureed new england clam chowder and that all today. Mostly drinking diet Ocean Spray laced with white grape juice. We will get there!!! 1 tabbymonroe reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dar1983 751 Posted August 12, 2012 I am 1 month post-op and hate eating! I don't crave anything, don't look foward to a particular meal, etc. I used to love scrambled eggs with cheese. Not anymore...they are like lead in my stomach. I eat for nourishment, not enjoyment. Crystal Lite is saving my life! I love the natural tea with lemon, the orange, and pink lemonade. I was getting sick of plain Water all day. Sigh... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jrzydva 38 Posted August 12, 2012 OMG so you guys really can't eat anything? Is that normal? In my support groups, everyone is able to eat everything and this is new for me...wow...I am praying that doesnt happen to me. Yes I want my cravings to reduce but I do still want to enjoy my fav foods in moderation down the road...maybe it will get better for you all...it's still very early for you both...

amykins 202 Posted August 12, 2012 I really hope that happens for me. I don't want to have the cravings for sweets that I have now. I've eaten enough Cookies and m&ms to last me the next 42 years. I really, really, REALLY want to get to goal and stay there without having to deal with the cravings anymore. Or at least be able to control them, rather than be controlled by cravings. 1 dar1983 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really, really, REALLY want to get to goal and stay there without having to deal with the cravings anymore. Or at least be able to control them, rather than be controlled by cravings. I feel the same way. I'm not bothered by the fact that I don't care about eating. However, I do have to take in all the proper nutrients, so I read labels carefully, and avoid 'bad' foods. I love being able to drive PAST McDonalds and not be tempted by the quarter pounder with cheese, and a fry! 2 amykins and tabbymonroe reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

susanfaye 162 Posted August 12, 2012 I found the cambells cream of chicken and herb Soup settled nicely even when everything else was like lead. It has a salty tang from the herbs so maybe that may help with the salt cravings? I did have to blend it first to smooth any chicken chunks. But it is very good. 1 tabbymonroe reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
