I am 5 months out as of yesterday....for the last 2 weeks I have had a hard time eating. No matter how slow or small amount I eat I experience pain so I don't want to eat. Not terrible, just enough that I feel uncomfortable for a few minutes but enough that it makes me not want to eat. I thought it was because I had a cold at first. But now that I have been better for over a week...the problem persists.

Also, nothing is appetizing. I eat because I have to....but nothing appeals to me at all. Yes, I know that may be a good thing LOL!!!! My weight loss has been steady though somewhat slower than others (down 63 lbs.). I was just wondering if this is normal. I have had no issues up until now. Even from day one no problems at all so I wasn't sure I should be that concerned.

Thanks so much!

Sorry you are struggling. I would call your surgeon and discuss so you can ensure you are not having a serious issue.

Keep us posted and I hope this passes quickly.

I agree I would call my Doctor. I am 5 months out as well. I have had a slow weight loss. I am like you I never had any problems at all. I got sick this past week, caught some virus. However my appetite never changed. Let us know what you find out.

I would try to take your diet back a notch, try to do liquids for a few days and gradually work your way back up. Please keep us posted.

      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.
