Complete different mindset to when I eat?

[Liability 0]

As many have seen my last post about barely eating anything after a few days. With a time span of just a week, I've noticed that I don't really want to eat anymore. I can drink a bottle of Water and that be my meal. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if it's the affects of the surgery. Has anyone else experienced this, or has any idea how I can over come this and have the required calories/protein? Also, the Protein drinks/shakes, I've tried to drink them but my sense of taste has changed and I can't even drink Isopure, and I used to love that stuff before surgery.

@@Liability Give it a few weeks, and even though your not "feeling" the shakes you need to get that Protein in. There are some Protein powders you can get that are not flavored and that might help. You want to keep up your nutrition even though your not hungry, or have a different taste. Sometimes anesthesia can do this, not necessarily the band.

Keep to the schedule of nutrition that the Dr. prescribed for you. You don't want to let yourself get run down or weak from lack of protein. Your body does not store this in any capacity so you need to replenish it daily, and if you don't your body will begin to break down your muscles to get it, and you could suffer other issues like hair loss etc.

If your still feeling off give your surgeon a call and have a detailed discussion with them, and discuss options for post op nutrition.

Best of luck to you.
