Does Eating/Food ever become enjoyable again?



Recommended Posts

I'm 7 weeks post op RNY. I've followed the doctors orders to a t. I get my Protein and Water in religiously.

When does food become enjoyable again??

Right now, something can look appealing and I'll have a bite and it will be painful...or l will have a couple bites and feel nauseous. Pretty much, the only thing that doesn't do this is Water.

Help?

I'm 1.5 years out and it's still a struggle. food still makes me nauseous at times. Also, sometimes I may have a certain food on my mind, and can be extremly hungry, but only eat A very small amount before I'm full.

How funny you post this today. I just said to my husband at dinner eating is really no longer enjoyable. It's like Forrest Gump said, you never know what you're gonna get. The end result is a mystery. Some days I can eat fine and the same thing another day has absolutely no appeal.

I guess everyone is different. My sister had her gastric bypass surgery around 15 or 16 years ago. She can eat, but still has trouble with certain foods such as ketchup, ice cream, rice, and yogurt. And she said Pasta fills her up extremely fast. My mom on the other hand had her surgery like 13 or 14 years ago and pretty much can anything except for rice regular sodas, and ice cream.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
