Food makes me sick

[cg89 3]

I hate eating. I hate the Protein Drinks Water tastes gross. I'm consuming may 150 calories a day. Will I forever stay like this. food makes me nauseated even to just think about. 3 weeks post op and I've lost 26 pounds

No, you shouldn't feel this way forever. Try and taste a bunch of different things to see if you can find something you can tolerate.

I suspect some people, when in ketosis, get such a bad taste in their mouth that it makes everything taste even worse. So the cure for them is to increase carbs to get out of ketosis.

I recommend milk as the first thing to try (not everyone can tolerate it postop). It has Fluid, Protein, and carbs, so works great if you can stand it.

I'm 5 weeks post op and most things make me nauseous and I'm having trouble getting fluids in, can't stand Protein Drinks anymore, etc.... I know the less I drink the more nauseous I become. I'm not supposed to eat solids yet but knew I had to put something in so I tried Peanut Butter on toast and chewed very carefully. It took me 1-1/2 hr to eat the whole thing but afterwards I felt much better. Today I'm having deviled chicken with crackers.....just being super careful to chew chew chew! Trial and error!

This is all such early stages folks. Your body is still healing and in shock. You had 80% of your stomach removed. The healing for that can take a long time. Some people just bounce right back like nothing happened. Some of us take months to recover. I was one of them. But it does get so much better!
