Hi I'm new on this had my surgery jan 3 any advice on how to get food out my mind and when will I be able to taste food

I ate sf Jello and pudding for like a a week I couldn't stomach Protein drinks for about a month I ate some egg whites around day 8 post op and I was fine. I had surgery at Lutheran in Brooklyn 9/17 I've lost 40 lbs post op. so far. You'll stop thinking about food so much when you over eat a few times. For me it feels like I'm having a heart attack when I over eat.

Thank you I nibble on baby food and still on liquid diet just nibbling on the baby food it feel funny my inside hurt when will all the pain go away

I felt 85% better after the first week. I actually went back to work within a week after surgery. I did have a pain in my right side for a good 5 weeks. My doctor told me that's where he pulled my stomach out.

      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.
