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

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
