missdesha 14 Posted January 9, 2013 Hello everyone! Hopefully this New Year is starting off to a great start for you! I am 5 weeks post op and I am having a Problem. I am having trouble getting all my liquids in. I loved Water, but its really hard now to get down. Crystal light, etc disgusts me now. Some of the flavored water I don't like anymore. UGH!!! Is this normal? Is it normal to not feel hungry at anytime? Im pretty sure I am not even getting enough liquid or daily Protein in as of yet. My NUT said that I will work up to the protein level. Has anyone else been through this specifically? Advice? Oh, I went to bariware.com and bought the tool there! Do any of you have that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Changing of the taste buds is normal. Mine has changed :-( and I believe they continue to change. I hope that you're able to find some type of Water that works for you. To not feel hungry early on is also normal. 5 weeks out so your surgery must have been close to mine. Are you on puréed foods, or soft? I do use MyFitnessPal as well and many of us do. It is a great tracking tool. I use my phone mainly for it due to convenience however, sometimes I do get on the computer. Gen :-) 12/15/12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

worm2872 635 Posted January 9, 2013 The taste thing is werid. I was fine with Crystal Light until about week three and then could not handle it anymore. I have flavored water about once or twice a week now and the rest is plain. I am about 7 weeks out and I never hungry so that is normal. My blood sugar will drop and I know I have to eat but no hunger. I am now able to get all of my Protein in since I can do shakes and Protein Bars. You will get there.

But that is over and body adjusted. Losing weight is slow going, but I am losing. I've lost 21 lbs so far. Gen :-) 12/15/12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
