I'm 6 months out and I'm just starting to have some occasional twinges of hunger. I've also had many periods of food aversion, so it's normal for me! They've come and gone over my post-op course...just make sure you're getting your fluids in and try to eat as much as you can to get close to your Protein goals when you're hating food. Good luck!

Glad to know it's not just me! Thank you!

I am 6 weeks out and have severe food aversion. The thought of some foods every makes me sick, and the smells, YUCK.

Some things I could eat the first few weeks I can't stand anymore.

It seems to change almost daily. I have heard it gets better a few months out. You are totally normal.

I'm the same way! I smelled roast the other day which used to be one of my favorite meals and as soon as I smelled it I got nauseous!

I felt that way till about the 7th week. Then things got better. Nothing taste right. I couldn't comprehend how surgery on my stomach could affect taste but it did. Thankfully, everything is now back to normal.

This happened to me in the first two months. It's normal.

I wish I still felt that way LOL. You will get your appetite back, it will be much less than pre-surgery, which is the point, but it won't be as bad as it is now for you.

Hang in there and you'll do great!

I eat a soft scrambled egg every day but I boiled eggs a few days ago and when I tried to peel one the smell was so gross. And I used to love boiled eggs. I am 6 weeks out tomorrow and can hardly eat anything, I keep trying though. Praying it gets better soon!!!!

My Dr. told me about this....and he seemed blase about it. I thought ok, its normal, I guess. But I am 2 1/2 months out. Lost 70 pounds and virtually nothing seems palatable to me. Except...sadly, carbs. I can have a small piece of cake or some bread and I am ok. But beef, chicken, meat...and most everything else....BLECH. Protein shakes are ok. Greek Yogurt, and cheese. THANK GOD for sugar free popsicles.

I guess now that I write this, it really is only 2 1/2 months...and that is basically a drop in the bucket. But while I am glad that my relationship with food is starting to change....it is also frustrating that I dont want anything other than cheese, almonds or Protein Shakes. Anyway....the 70 pounds is a huge consolation...right?!

I had the same feeling around 4 weeks. I am now 8 weeks out and I am back to normal. My dietician told me that it was completely normal and not to worry about it unless it doesn't go away after a couple weeks. Hope it gets better for you!

I'm 3 1/2 yrs out and since surgery,i have not been hungry. I don't even think about food. That switch got turned off I think. My husband and the clock reminds me to eat.or if I had a toke or two of pot...then I eat..and good stuff. It's wierd

Kat.????????????????????????????????????????

I'm a tad over 2 years out and NEVER get hungry! I eat by the clock. There have been weekends where I totally forget to eat anything. Doesn't mean I don't "crave" things from time to time.

I'm 4 weeks also and have the desire to eat but once I start I lose interest. I don't like the feeling. food feels like it's stuck and I can't drink to push it down. Very frustrating!! Much rather not eat
