5 Months Out

[ds9ing 0]

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.
