I am three months out and like food just fine. It gets easier I promise. The first 6 weeks or so is the roughest. Now I can can eat just about anything in small portions. Hang in there.

I was discussing this very subject with my husband this afternoon. I am 8 weeks post-op and I am rarely hungry. I basically eat because I know I am suppose to. When I do get excited about eating something or going out to eat, I get full so fast that eating is over before I start to enjoy it. But saying all of this, I am proud that the surgery is doing what it is suppose to do for me. I have been at a stall for about a month and want to see the scale move again but all in all I am happy with my decision.

Please remember you are in the "GOLDEN" time with WLS. Your tummy is probably still swollen. Make sure you get your liquids and Protein and you are good. Your food taste will come back, in the mean time you should be losing lots of fat, you can get to goal quicker by being on track. Its when people go off track and it takes awhile to get back. ( off track I'm meaning eating slider foods, drinking alcohol, eating white carbs ect.) Hope this makes sense. Good Luck Linda

Yes. I am two years out and enjoy food and feel hunger. Still have the restriction to help me avoid overeating, but I do enjoy my old favorites. :)

I'm not sure when my taste became normal again but food does taste good as it always has. I become full quick and have great restriction at almost 1 yr post op.

      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.
