ashbhey 125 Posted August 29, 2013 I'm 5 months out. I've done pretty good. I've lost 110lbs. Recently, the last 3ish days, I don't wanna eat. At all. It's like it makes me sick to even think about eating. It's not really a physical thing, like I eat too much and then I'm sick... It's more, I know I need to way something, I'll make something, take one bite (if even) and it's just disgusting. I've tried switching it up to the max. I even "allowed" myself to have ANYTHING I wanted today. I choose pizza. I had one bite, and put the rest in the fridge for hubby. I find myself getting super dizzy and lightheaded, which I'm sure is from lack of nutrients.. What do I do?! NOTHING is good! I've told myself, "just do it.. You know you HAVE to eat".. But one bite and I get so repulsed, I just can't do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Daydra 345 Posted August 29, 2013 Is it just mentally repulsed or are there any physical symptoms? Do you get any unpleasant sensations (not necessarily painful or uncomfortable) when whatever you swallow moves toward your stomach? Any nausea? Either way, you should call your surgeons office. Seriously. There could be something that's off just a little bit that could be addressed and make you feel so much better. Also, serious nutrient deficiencies/dehydration is nothing to play with. If you haven't had your gallbladder out, that might be something to investigate as well. And really? 110 pounds in 5 months is "pretty good"? You need to give yourself more credit. That is freaking awesome! Congratulations and good luck! I hope that you are able to get it figured out soon. You certainly can't safely go along as described for very long. 2 CharmingTortoise and FRED1977 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fat Pat no more 89 Posted August 29, 2013 Call dr office or nut 1 ashbhey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FRED1977 186 Posted August 29, 2013 Sounds like you are stressed and tired of eating hows everything else going for you? To be honest I have felt like this several times and had to force myself to eat. I would really get like this during week 3 and I always feel like I just ate a meal and sick after taking meds. Have you been sleeved or Lap band? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's mentally repulsed, but I feel if I eat anything I'm going to throw up. Hard to explain I guess. I'll eat, a bite or two, and I just don't want it so much that my mouth starts watering and I know if I have to taste "that" again, it's coming back up. It's so weird. My gallbladder is gone, has been since 2011... I'm not really stressed any more than normal every day life things that I'm always stressed about. Guess I'll give my Dr a call tomorrow! 1 Daydra reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Have you been sleeved or Lap band? I had the sleeve. I'm not really stressed tho. Life's pretty much the same as always. I'll call my Dr tomorrow I suppose! 1 FRED1977 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zenandnow 514 Posted August 29, 2013 Interesting. I sometimes feel this too, but not for as long as you've experienced. I do wonder if my food addiction will 'switch' to a food phobia or anorexic type of disorder. Sometimes I feel anxious about eating, and since I don't feel hunger (at least not yet) it's easy for me to forget to eat. Since I tend to lose in short bursts and then plateau for a few weeks it kind of reinforces my desire not to eat. I can usually get down a Protein shake during these times, as I know I cannot go down that path. But it can be a struggle. Other times I want to binge! But thankfully my sleeve won't let me. Food issues can really mess with your head! I'm a believer in therapy, so that's my safety net. That, and a great NUT. I hope you find an answer soon, and can get back to a healthy diet & feel better. Please keep us posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ashbhey 125 Posted August 29, 2013 could you be pregnant? My exact early symptoms! Oh no. Quite the opposite actually. Wondering if my "monthly gift" may be to blame, but this certainly isn't the first time I've had it since surgery, and it's never happened before... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Should probably get on that. Thanks for the advice! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lnelson796 117 Posted August 29, 2013 Have you been taking your Vitamins? I feel like that when I've forgotten to take them for a couple of days. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ashbhey 125 Posted August 30, 2013 Made a Dr appointment! Hopefully they'll run some labs and see what's up. My NUT is thinking its hormonal tho. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
