newgrandmother 725 Posted October 26, 2012 wierd everything i eat i dont enjoy i never get that ahhhhhhhhhhh that was great feeling. i have so much food in my freezer because i cooked it thinking hummmmmmm this will be good and i will eat off it for maybe two days and put it in the freezer. its like i want something but dont know what it is. im thinking maybe a slice of pizza or some fries, i know i wouldnt be able to eat it all but i just maybe want to taste it. shoot i dont know. its just to much work to eat you have to chew it well you get full fast your food gets cold. i just want to be normal. anyone else feeling this way, i hope i am not alone. 3 Zee116, Earwood and CK77 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

desertmom 297 Posted October 26, 2012 My 4 bites are usually finished before its cold and the food I now eat it is unappetizing to any normal person.My high fibre Protein and eggwhite pancakes makes my kids cringe! I just wish I didnt feel like eating as I always do even though food still doesnt taste the same and I am still looking for that "something nice" almost 8 months later.

gmanbat 5,889 Posted October 26, 2012 A couple years before I was sleeved I had chemotherapy for prostate cancer. One of the side effects was a temporary loss of my sense of taste. With that I lost the joy of eating but I still had a big hunger. Now I have much less hunger but I have the joy of eating. Even though it's just a few bites, I rejoice in the taste. Plus I have a healthy, slim body to fuel with the food. And.... I am alive. I like now better. 8 Eat That Frog, mendymayhem, Need-a-Sleeve and 5 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Earwood 136 Posted October 26, 2012 I feel ya...eating has become a chore now vs a pleasure as it once was. If eating wasn't a requirement of existence I would probably just stop all together. My previously fav foods now have no taste or taste nasty to me. I still get head hunger, go to eat what I crave and then want to puke cuz it doesn't taste good anymore. I'm only 9 weeks out though so we'll see if I ever get back to some semblance of normal somewhere down the road. 2 CK77 and GoldyGirl reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
delta_girl 931 Posted October 26, 2012 I have really been wondering about this. I'm only 5 weeks out, but I've been on vacation for a week and have been eating in a lot of restaurants; Soup, fresh grilled fish, yogurt, oatmeal, etc. I almost dread meal time. Eating is not. "fun " anymore. It is more of a chore. Drinking is fine and no big deal. This may sound sick, but I hope it lasts. I'm tired of my life being ruled by food.< /p> 10 WillInAtlanta, newgrandmother, VitaleEM and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But with that said, I could not be ant happier with my results, 87 lbs lost and counting, sounds like a great trade off to me, the taste of food for all this darn fat! 2 bkdavis and gmanbat reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Holly5.3 423 Posted October 26, 2012 food v. Feeling Fantastic. Hmmmmmm I know I used to think good tasting food made me feel fantastic to eat, but when the food was no longer in my mouth being tasted-I just hated myself! The momentary, dare I say "ecstasy", felt while consuming is a mind F---! Afterwards the self hatred and negativity canceled all those warm fuzzy feelings i had when eating. 6 Crazy8s, Fiddleman, sheppy33 and 3 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Start working your sleeve and looking at new things to do instead of focusing on food: new hobbies, exercise, friendships. You got this surgery to help you so please work it for all that it is intended. Best wishes to you. 1 Fiddleman reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iggychic 1,405 Posted October 26, 2012 Are you allowed to have a cheeseburger at this stage? I guess I was thinking you were 4 or 5 weeks out....bread is a nasty no no early on as it puffs up in your tummy. I believe though you've said that your program allows potatoes at this point? (Mine does). What about making up some lovely fried potatoes at home, or shoe string but make them a bit healthier again by cooking them at home? Add some sour cream and butter, just a bit, given you aren't going to eat a bunch anyhoo and indulge in that major treat while still being sort of on program? 2 Threetimesacharm and Auntneecie reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
