Advice plz...5 weeks post op!

[missdesha 14]

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?

Hi, I am 6 weeks and still struggling. Most of use myfitnesspal.com. It has an app for all phones and tablets. It tracks your food and exercise, plus a chat room. It is awesom.

I had surgery 12/15/12. 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.

My surgery was 12/7/12. So this Friday will be 5 weeks. I was cleared to start my transition or regular food diet at my one month post op. I am never hungry though, its weird. I thought something was wrong with me lol. Yes my taste buds have changed totally. So weird! I need to ask my Surgeon why that happens. How has your progress been?

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.

I guess I have been complication free this far. Just minor dehydration during week 2 cuz my body wasn't processing the liquids properly. But that is over and body adjusted. Losing weight is slow going, but I am losing. I've lost 21 lbs so far.
