I had surgery a week ago tomorrow. For some reason, I can't stomach any food. Last week I took a few bites here and there, but I'm just not hungry at all. I could probably go a few days without eating. I am getting some liquids down though

Has anyone else experienced this? I'm starting to worry myself. It's been 6 days and I've post 13 pounds because food doesn't sound good to me at all yet

Hi, aren't you still supposed to be on only liquids at this stage anyway?

Your tummy is still healing.

Take care :)

You need to get you protien in.. Are you drinking you shakes and Water. Try some broth with some unflavored Protein. Make sure the broth is 140 degrees F or less or the protein will get weird. You need to keep hydrated and check with your doctor. It will get better ????

I'm on puréed Protein. I just feel like every time I out food in my mouth I might get sick. I tried broth in the hospital but that wasn't going to happen with my stomach

They have meds for that. I don't remember the names but there are anti nausea meds you can use. :) Your body needs sustenance.

I understand. I'm suppose to start puréed diet tomorrow and nothing on the list sounds appetizing so I may remain on full liquids for another week. Not to mention all my Protein shakes and Fruit drinks are starting to taste nasty. UGH! This too shall pass.

Cream of wheat and oatmeal.... Blending down Wendy's chili.... Add some whey Protein or have almond milk or soy milk separate.... It can work.... But does get boring.... It's not for Ming though....

I was the Same way and still struggling (Surg was2/26)..... But my doc just wanted me to at least keep hydrated. Whatever I could do because not doing equals dehydration and possible organ failure or parts of body going into shock..... Be careful and try to push thru. I know it's hard

Just keep getting the liquids in and the food will come. I am 18 days post op and have lost 27 pounds. Food hasn't been that good for me until recently. I just am having a hard time with Protein.

      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.
