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.

      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...

        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.
