Food harder to tolerate



Recommended Posts

8 weeks out and I’m starting to force myself to eat

I do get hungry but i don’t want to eat 😣 and I don’t want anything else with Protein it. No Protein Shake no protein Snacks

They’re all becoming disgusting and hard to eat 🤢

Food…i take 2-3 bites and I’m tired of it. Put it in fridge to never be seen again

Yes this is a thing, I found it so wasteful. It seemed like all my very favourite foods before surgery were no go foods to me. Humous and salmon are still yuck foods to me. I have just started to eat eggs, avocado and pork.

Feeling never hungry is also a thing, we all give ourselves a set time to eat each meal. My meals were tiny so I had 5 or 6 a day and a glass of milk. You will get very weak if you don't get enough nutrition, forcing ourselves to eat is a strange thing that I never had before

It does get better, just give it time

I know this sounds weird, but enjoy it while it lasts - because it doesn't last for the vast majority of us. Sometime during the first year after surgery your hunger will come back, and it makes things a lot harder. I wish I was one of the lucky few whose hunger never came back. It was so easy to lose weight when I was never hungry and didn't give a flip about food!

      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.
