Anyone else stop enjoying food?



Recommended Posts

I know I am only a week and 5 days out but I just feel bored with food and I am basically forcing myself to have meals. I get hungry but I look at the stuff in my fridge and I just feel bleh about it.

Did you guys go through this?:help:

I went through this, I was sick of Soup and when I got on mushies, I got stick of that I would leave stuff as I couldnt be bothered.

Dont worry once you get on solids you will be fine, the food looks better.

I so agree with you, I am only four days out from being banded and I am just not wanting to eat (I mean drink/sip) anything. I am worried about protien and stuff but nothing seems good and I get full so fast. This all makes me very happy, this is exactly what I wanted/

This totally happened to me, too. but once i started experimenting and finding out what i could eat, i started enjoying food again. i kinda miss not liking food now, to be honest with you!

I actually enjoy food more now than I ever did before.

I savour my food rather than inhaling it (pre band days) and I enjoy high quality foods rather than quantity.

It's an individual thing I guess.

Ditto here. I love my meals now...savor every bite....rather than seeing how much I can shovel into my pie hole.

I think many of us go through this phase of not being hungry and food not looking appetizing. Enjoy this stage in your band journey. It is such a wonderful time to realize that food does not need to be a part of every single moment of your life. You can go without food right now because of the swelling around you stomach. I was told this exact same thing three months ago and it was so true. I now have an appetite, but back then, I really thought that I would never want food again.

      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.
