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!!! :)

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...

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... :)

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.

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!

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.

      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.
