I just had gallbladder removed and gastric bypass on July 7th. I'm so sick I can barely drink Water. I haven't eating since July 6th. The Smell Of food makes me want to Vomit! !

Completely normal! You just need to make sure you are getting fluids in at this point or you will end up back in the hospital if you are not still there.

I hope you feel better soon. Make sure you ask for nausea medication, it should help.

It was a long time before I even felt hungry. I had to actually set an alarm to make sure I ate. I noticed that it would be 3pm and I will have forgotten to eat.

I didn't feel like eating for a few days. But that feeling will dissipate eventually. It's rare I get "hungry" now 2+ months post-op.

I also set reminders on my mobile phone to remind me when to get my Protein shakes, Vitamins, and meals in. Otherwise I could go half the day before I even realized I haven't eaten.

I'm a little over 2 months out and I still don't want food. I know I'm supposed to eat 4 times a day but I'm lucky to eat once because I just DON'T WANT FOOD . I don't think I have experienced a hunger feeling since before surg

Feel the same way. I'm on week 6, and never want to eat. Even since I can eat soft foods, nothing is appetizing. I know some of that is probably me having a bad attitude, but I just have no desire. I always have my 2 shakes, yogurt, lunch and dinner every day, but it can really feel like a chore at times

      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.
