Foods you no longer enjoy



Recommended Posts

My husband told me it only took 45 minutes. My Dr. also fixed a hernia while in there. I'm 4 weeks post op and I was able to start adding soft foods at 3 weeks and normal diet as of this past Monday. I do eat, I just don't really enjoy it right now. Maybe when the swelling has gone down.

Oh ok, yeah you're early out. I hope you can enjoy food again. It's so vital to get as much nutrition through food (in time). I couldn't do regular foods till 2 months. I'd stick to softer foods if they easier to eat. There are some good recipes on Pinterest. I suppose when you don't want to eat that's not appealing though. Fingers crossed it gets better for you.

My tastes have changed a lot. There are many foods that I don't like anymore. I was lucky enough to not be interested in Desserts or candy after surgery where I was obsessed with it before. I also like spicy food more now than before but for some, it is the opposite. Unfortunately, I am now lactose intolerant now after surgery as well 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am 9 months out, and my food tolerances and likes/dislikes are still changing. I can no longer eat hot dogs or sausages, they make me nauceous. I used to LOVE pizza, but turn my nose up at it now. Sweet items, I can't eat much of, nor SHOULD I. I told myself from the very beginning that I was not going to 100% cut anything out of my diet, just make better choices. I am making good choices as a whole, but once in a while I allow myself something off of the "diet". It's also about Portion Control. I used to be able to finish off a pint of ice cream. Now, I get Halo Top ice cream and eat a tiny bit, and I am more satisfied.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
