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!

      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.
