Lost interest in food and it tastes different too!



Recommended Posts

Ever since having surgery, it seems as though I have lost interest in food! Very rarely do I crave anything. I eat good food, but about 3/4 of the way through eating I just flat out lose interest! Also, I find that some foods taste different to me than before surgery.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Yes.. My obsession for food is mostly gone. I too start to eat and along the way with eating my 4 oz foods,.. I stop cause I am not hungry and start hiccuping . I can go many hours without feeling hungry or thinking that I need to eat. I do eat my 3 meals and two Snacks to get my 800 calorie and 65 grams of Protein. But enjoying it..that surely has lessened . And glad that I am that way now.

It's been 3.5 months since I've been sleeved.. Still eating the way I'm supposed to, getting all my Protein in. I used to enjoy food so much and now I'm no longer obsessed with it. It's actually a good thing. I used to be a major carb addict. Now I barely eat bread or carbs!

      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.
