Am I EVER GOING TO ENJOY FOOD EVER AGAIN



Recommended Posts

I'm 4 weeks after Surgery and I feel like the only thing I can eat is yogurt , sugar free Popsicle's and a 1/2 cup of smoothy with Protein Powder. Am I ever going to get to enjoy food again? I know smaller portion size is the main problem why we get overweight, but I cant even eat anything!! :( I'm so emotional and feel I cant get enough calories in to even feel mentally normal. :( Any advice ??

I went through the same thing plus I got an ulcer along the surgical incision. Yes you will.
But some things still bother my stomach after 9 months. meats like beef. Greasy stuff. Always eat slowly. I've eaten to fast and you get dumping syndrome which is a nightmare. Eat slowly. Your doctor will guide you. Follow it carefully.

I'm almost nine weeks out and love my food. You're still healing. I don't know how long it'll take but there's no reason you shouldn't be able to fully enjoy most foods down the road. Hang in there.

I am months out and I am still very limited as to what I can tolerate. However, being a size 8-10 is much better than a size 24 .Meals times has been a very difficult and emotional time for me I will not lie. I use to love to eat everything, now most foods taste horrible to me or I am unable to keep it down. We have to remember this is a work in progress. My entire life I have eaten when happy, sad, stressed, etc. Now I am unable to eat and have to find other ways to deal. Not easy. But loving they way I look.

I'm four weeks out and I find most Beans easy to eat. Cottage cheese is easy for me also. Denser stuff has been no go for me. Avocado and hummus with soft egg works for me also.

I was allowed avocado in the soft stage. I mashed it with hummus. So good!

KKLIVE I had my surgery May 8 and I still feel that way and wonder when the "switch" will come and I can eat small portions of food where it tastes good. Everything has a sour taste, or is too sweet. Then I get a gagging type reflex off of yogurts and Protein Shakes as I can't stand one more. Today's lunch was 1/2 of refried Beans with some shredded cheese, a tablespoon of salsa, and a teaspoon of sour cream on top. I had a Protein Shake this am and that's all I've had all day. I dread thinking about the next meal as it will look good, but there is that weird taste. But I'm hanging in there and hoping to turn a corner soon! Hope you do the same.

I was able to have a little cottage cheeses with Frozen pineapple chunks today . Was pretty good. I don't have any sugar in my diet otherwise. :)

      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?

      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.
