Honestly I get like that when I am constipated and/or bloated. Not saying that is your problem. I just tend to stop eating.

I felt like this for a while as well, and even now, I have days when I don't want to eat. It made me sad to think I would no longer have any joy in eating, but it passed. I think I needed to learn what foods agreed with me and what foods did not, as well as accept, emotionally, that I cannot eat a regular portion of anything. I like cooking and I enjoy eating, but it took about 3 months for me to get to a place where a meal was enjoyable.

That is so good to hear. I was just asking myself that question today. I am about 7 weeks post op and almost everything I eat doesn't go down smoothly. And I just don't enjoy food as much right now. I was wondering if I'll ever enjoy food again and so am comforted by your post, thank you.

      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.
