Good morning! I am almost 6 weeks post op. I can get a little hungry, but anytime I try to eat, the food tastes disgusting to me. I am eating on plan. I get my Protein daily, but its from liquids. I just can't stand to eat anything. I cook foods allowed on my diet, and I have to force myself to eat it. Is this normal? Will it get better as I continue to heal?

Thanks!

I definitely experienced this as well. I had to keep on trying. At about 10/12 weeks I noticed things changed for the better and now I rarely have a problem.

I have experience this somewhat myself. I am 3 weeks out and have been released to move from soft foods to the introduction of very moist meats. I have been fixing a few things thinking that they are going to taste so good and they always disappoint. Sometimes something will taste good the first time I eat it but when use it for another meal I no longer like it. I am not quite sure why this is, but it does happen. The worst thing for me are drinks. I cannot find anything that I like except for Water. I guess that is a good thing, but sometimes you would just like to change it up a bit. I have searched for several non caffeine alternates that would still help me reach my Water intake amounts but cannot find anything that I like. I am like you - lets just keep eating to get our nutrition in and hope that it will turn around. The positive side to this is that I have never been tempted to overeat and fill my pouch too full!

Even Water has been hard for me. I can only stand certain kinds. I used to be a total carnivore, but I don't like meat

      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.
