Not feeling like swallowing the food



Recommended Posts

So this is weird, not sure if anyone else has gone through this but it's gotten to the point of when I eat and I chew and chew and chew that the taste and texture is so off putting that I don't even want to swallow the food, most of the time I will just spit it out because I can't make myself swallow it.

The first few times I tried soft foods, that happened to me too. I'd suck all the juice or flavor out, then spit out the chicken or whatever. Sometimes I still do. Assuming it's normal.

I felt nauseated after I ate for the first month or so post-op. It made me think everything I ate was disgusting after I finished eating. I think this is your stomach getting used to the new you.

I am really sensitive about food texture. I don't chew all the time they advise. I never have. All I did at first was take smaller bites. Now at 2 years I pretty much eat the same way I did before.

If you are making yourself miserable and not getting your food in, that isn't helping you.

I have that reaction to tuna sometimes, I crave it, but when I actually get it..I'm done. I don't know what it is, but I throw it away after several bites. I have my good days and my bad days, lol.

      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.
