Do You Have Days Post-op When You Do Not Fee Like Eating?



Recommended Posts

I am 2.5 weeks post-op. Today is the first day post-hospital when I truly do not feel like eating. I am thirsty and am drinking. But I simply have no appetite. I experienced this right after surgery. But this is the first time since being at home. Might it be caused by having eaten too much on other days? Does anyone else experience this? What might be the cause of this? Does it go away?

Thanks for any insights.

Wishing everyone the greatest of success on his or her weight loss journey!

I felt this way yesterday, but I was only 5 days post op. Maybe you are filling up with plenty of liquid that you feel full. Try not drinking anything for 30 minutes to see if you get hungry then eat something little? I am not sure I really have much advice, but hope others who are further postop then me have some advice for you :)

I have many days like this... but I still eat 3 meals a day and I get my liquids and Protein in for sure. I am almost 9 months post op and you will for sure have good days and bad days.... as you move forward you will have more better days than bad.

I don't feel like eating most days. I just eat because I have too.

8 months out. Most day I eat because I have to eat. Went back to milk w/protein powder in the am. I take a bite or 2 and push food away.

I am that way too. Some days I feel like eating others I can bearly do a bite

      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.
