Just not hungry
I am now 6 weeks post-op and down almost 80lbs. I too had a hard time with eating when I was supposed to because my eating problem before my surgery was not eating all day and drinking soda and then eating a huge dinner. So now I pretty much force myself to eat on schedule whether it is a bite or two or a full 4 oz. as long as I make the attempt.
I have gotton to the point now where foods are finally starting to taste better and it is not such a job to eat.
I also sip from an ice water bottle or Crystal Light Pink Lemonade through-out the day to keep me hydrated and feeling good. I just take a break from the liquids 15min. before and after meals, when you do eat you want to save the room for food.
I have found that eating on the Dr's schedule really optimizes the results from the surgery.
Good Luck to All
