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!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
