Back to regular food (CHOPPED)

Im on regular foods now. Ive tried eating the healthy foods,but i don't want to eat. So I decided I'll just go back to liquids and the Protein Shakes. Anyone else feeling like this?

Not gonna lie im almost 5 months out and i have liquid days. Not because I'm trying so hard to lose weight but sometimes i just can't do solids. Sometimes i feel tight early and can only do Water, shakes and tea. So I'll do that and my next meal I'll do dense Protein. And sometimes i can't finish the same amount as i did the day before but it's ok. Part of the process i guess. Im usually ok just up my shakes for that day and drink more Water. I don't push it. Next day i get back into it best i can. Just gotta go with the flow. But still do what you need to do for you. I try to eat when im hungry unless that takes too long. If im not thinking about it ill completely forget or neglect the fact i need to eat. Sometimes i just really don't feel like eating. When that happens if im not actively hungry I'll wait it out a bit. If i start to feel sick i know i waited too long and will drink a bottle of water before my next meal to start my system. It just feels better, like I've woken my system to receive food. If i don't its hard to get much anything in and it isn't comfortable for my stomach.

Thank you for that because im having a hard time,well not so much as a hard time..its just aggravating trying to eat something.

I feel the same way. It's just not worth the pain of eating. For the most part I tolerate things ok but if I forget to extra chew or wait to drink, it hurts. So I go back to popsicles and shakes and teas.

It'll get easier. I usually don't eat much during the early part of the day. Most of the time i just have no desire. Thinking, planning and cooking a meal is just ugh. The worst. It's 3:11pm and all I've had is a shake and Water.

Over the weekend tho, i had Chinese bbq spare ribs, chicken taco (just the chicken), rib eye steak and potato, boiled eggs and Protein Shakes. This was over three days. That wasnt everything but my point is it gets much easier. Almost too easy. I find myself slipping up and eating things like Cookies, cakes, tortilla chips. But i don't, can't and won't eat nearly what i used to. I allow little indulgences but once i feel it getting out of hand i back up, stop and go back to basics. Something i could have never done or had the strength to do before so i feel like it's an improvement. Im way better and getting better at it every day. Beating yourself up makes no sense. Just make sure you get back to it next meal.

Anyway (sorry, i rambled there lol). It'll get better just give it time. You'll probably never feel like eating ALL the time. It's just different now than before. Pre op i couldn't wait for my next meal. Now i anticipate the next meal like a shot in the arm. I feel like I'll enjoy it until I'm actually eating it. So it makes me not want to eat so i get it. But enjoy this while you can. Those moments will im sure get few and far between lol.
