My mom passed almost 2 weeks ago. I'm drinking enough but my appetite is horrible. I had a boiled egg yesterday. Those of you that have suffered the death of a loved when will I get my appetite back? Back on the treadmill tomorrow. Maybe that'll help?

I am so sorry for your loss. It is tough to deal with for sure.

It surely is different for everyone. When we lost our son I was just detached from life in general for about 3 months (and gained my final 30lbs). It took a full 6 months to shake the worst of the depression. I never had the lack of appetite, but it was before the Sleeve for me. I guess now I would just not care to eat too...

At the least have a Protein Drink or 2 daily so you are getting in some nutrients and Protein.

I'm sure a hug would be welcome right now, so here's one comin' at you...hug.....

I can't tell you when your appetite will return. Like liannatx said, everyone has there own timing. So make sure you get the essentials, and your fluids, for sure. Don't overdo with the exercise, especially if you aren't getting in the Protein and fluids. But you know that.

Nothing can rush the grieving period, you'll know the answer to that when it comes. Ask for peace, and you will have it. With that peace comes all you will need for the moment. Our prayers are with you, and you are NOT alone.....

I'm so very sorry you lost a child. How very heartbreaking.

I finally ate yesterday. Some friends took me grocery shopping and took me to dinner. I could only eat a couple bites but that's progress! Thank you both for your kind words and prayers. It means so much, hugs.

      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.
