No appetite 2+ weeks post-op



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 3/15 and was cleared today to move to pureed foods. The problem is that I have absolutely no desire to eat. (I've never typed that sentence in my life

I was all ready to make my ricotta bake and eat some Beans but when I actually went to eat something, I gave up after a bite. I wasn't nauseous, I just didn't want to eat. Anyone else have the same experience?

I've been drinking my Water and Protein Shakes fine since surgery, but that's all I've consumed. Is it bad to wait until I actually want to eat or should I force myself to try and get back into solid (pureed) food?

I was sleeved on 3/23 and so I'm about 1 wk out, my surgeon requires 3 WEEKS of liquid post-op which I thought was crazy talk BUT being in the throws of it, I don't hv much of an appetite to do as much cheating as I thought I wanted to do, lol...I say that to say as long as you're keeping up on your Proteins and liquid there should be no harm in staying on liquids as some Dr keep their patients there anyway.

I was told if you aren't hungry it is not horrible at the beginning if you don't eat but make sure you are getting all your liquids. My nutritionist recommended Isopure low carb beverages so you get Protein from your liquid, in addition, to your Protein Shakes if eating is a problem.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
