4 weeks out/ no desire to eat



Recommended Posts

I had surgery 5/8 and I've been doing great but for the last week I have no desire to eat or drink, and no hunger. I'm pushing through it with drinks and Protein shakes.

Anyone else feeling this?

There are days that I feel that way and other days that I feel famished! Just do your best to get all your liquids and Protein in. Use those days of not being hungry to evaluate what you are eating and try to gain some perspective for those days that you want to eat everything in sight.

Isn't this a weird feeling????

I'm three weeks out and I should be starting soft foods tomorrow, however I'm going to continue the puréed stage longer because I don't eat anything, I'm still doing my shakes. I feel blah after I have a couple of bites if applesauce or retried Beans. No way I can start soft foods tomorrow.

I'm never hungry or thirsty.

I literally have to set an alarm on my phone to eat my meals and I carry a Water bottle that I've frozen the night before in my purse and sip all day long. As it thaws it allows for just sips of Water to stay hydrated. Ive noticed that I cannot get water cold enough to be palatable. I don't enjoy food anymore and thats a change because I used to be a huge foodie.

Sacrifice I suppose. I had my sleeve done on 4/17 and I'm 50 pounds down. I wouldn't change anything.

Good luck!

      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.
