When NOTHING sounds good



Recommended Posts

I am 5 weeks out of surgery and having the hardest time eating!! Nothing sounds good... I have to make myself eat... my poor kids (14 and 16) May never get a home cooked meal again!! On the plus side they are learning to cook!! I know this is so new and I am sure over time things will change..

they will. Your hunger and appetite will almost certainly come back sometime within the next few months, and things will get A LOT harder then. Enjoy this period of easy weight loss while you can - it's so much easier when you're never hungry!!

p.s. there are a small minority of people whose hunger never comes back, but for the vast majority of us, it does. So take full of advantage of this time and lose as much as you can!!

I had no appetite for about 5-6 months and it is gradually coming back a little bit. I still feel like it is a pain to eat! Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise?

Funny, about the same time, I didn't really want to eat but I did want to cook, especially on my big green egg, so I would cook stuff eat one or two bites and that was it. As others have said take advantage of the "honeymoon" stage!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
