I’m 7 weeks post op and I’m bored with food. I’ve started to do Protein Shakes more often because I’m uninterested in eating. Has anyone else experienced this?

a lot of people lose their hunger and their interest in food for a few months after surgery. And unfortunately, for most of us, it comes roaring back - and that's when things get a lot harder. So enjoy it while you can - it'll never in your life be easier to lose weight than it will right now, when you don't give a flip about food.

It's important to eat to plan, even if you don't feel inclined to do so.

First, eating to plan is healthier than not eating or not eating to plan.

It's almost impossible to not lose weight in the first few months. Whatever you do or don't do during this period is being connected in the deep, dark recesses of our mind to weight loss. Eat to plan, eat horrible foods, don't eat, over eat, whatever, it becomes what your mind associates with success.

You really want this connection to be with "eating to plan".

Make good choices now. Then it's easier to keep making good choices later.

Good luck,

Tek

      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.
