5 months out...no food sounds good to me!



Recommended Posts

I'm wondering if anyone else is experiencing this. I get hungry but NOTHING sounds good or tastes good. As a result I find myself not eating and yet still not dropping any weight really. Trying to just force myself back into the 3 meals (regardless of how much) and eating Protein first. Any suggestions other than "Just do it!" LOL

I am a month away from being a year out and I go through days and weeks to which I do not want to eat anything because I am not hungry. Then I reach days and weeks where all I want is either junk food. I am still trying to find a middle.

That's exactly me right now! Glad to know it's not just me! I have my six month coming up. Just want to see where my Vitamin levels are at along with cholesterol/other. hair loss seems to have slowed down a bit.

2 months out here and I am going through the same thing! Yesterday I probably only had 400 calories and very little Water cause I just wasn't "feeling it". I just chalk it up to a couple of bad days and try to do better the next. Some other days I feel like I can eat ALL DAY! I'm still trying to find my way in this kooky process! Hope it helps to k of you are not alone :)

I am only 7 weeks but no food appeals to me. shakes are repulsive but I try to get them down. I eat nuts and cheese to get food in because they cause no tummy problems. Yogurt and Beans also work fairly well for me. meat tastes so horrible and makes me feel ill, even a few tiny bites of chicken. It's amazing to go from a meat-sugar addict to not having any desire whatsoever for food. The good thing is I am starting to enjoy the freedom from the addiction, and am not missing food anymore. I think the monkey is off my back!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
