I had mini bypass in July and no matter what I eat, it tastes disgusting and I spit it out except watermelon. Anyone else have this issue????

I know, that is a long time. Hopefully, it will be different for you.

I have days/times where I don't want to eat but I put the food in a small bowl and try to watch TV or play a game on my phone to distract me to get the food in without feeling gross. The distraction helps.

Some stuff tasted off or weird to me. Like I can't stand vanilla now at all. Your taste buds will change over the next few weeks/months. Even if it's gross, still eat it.

Look at this as a golden opportunity. Use this time to focus on pure nutrition. Get the Protein and Fiber you need, for the fewest calories. You can maximize your weight loss during this phase.

There will be a point that food starts tasting good again & cravings return. At that point it will be harder to eat completely on plan.

YES! I still get somewhat hungry when its time to eat, but, one bite of food and I'm grossed out. I finish because I have to but its so depressing!

      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.
