When do you like food again



Recommended Posts

I am 4 weeks out and can't stomach thinking about food. It makes me sick to think about it. I have a hard time eating. I'm not throwing up anything just nothing sounds or is appealing. Does this feeling pass? Will I like food again.

Eating and drinking finally stopped being a chore for me 3 months out. Now I love food again, and make sure every bite is a yummy, healthy one (well, almost every bite)

Oh honey, you will learn to love food again! You may even learn to love it more than before, because you won't have to deal with the constant guilt of overeating, and will feel true satisfaction and satiety! Don't worry - it will come! You are going through a unique period that many of us went through, with the nausea constantly present. You tastes are going to change and the foods you crave may change for many months to come, but yes, things get better from here! Blessings!

At 5.5 months I still don't love food and am hoping this lasts. My love of food is what got me into this mess.

I love considering food for its nutritional value and not as a source of entertainment or method of soothing.

I am 3 months & 1 week post op and started to actually want to eat about 3 wks ago. Before that I couldn't walk into a grocery store without feeling sick. It does get better! Hang in there! It'll go by fast and you will be happy that you made the decision that you did.

I actually have been enjoying food beginning of my 6th week. not eating that much of it but some. Even small bites ( I mean tiny bites of tortilla chips) with guac. / salsa. I had 3 bites of an enchiilda. But this is last week of soft foods for me as my surg. was April 21st. I have been fine.. no stomach pains no over eatting. all is been good.

      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.
