Hey A-Teamers!!!

Reading your post, and some of the others' just depresses me. Unfortunately, I have not lost the taste for anything, and I don't dump nearly as much as I've heard others do. This is just another part of the tool that I am struggling with. I feel like I'm digging a hole to China, and I've been given a spoon and everyone else has a shovel. Like I've said in the past, I'm doing better than I was before surgery, which is great, but others seem to be experiencing things that I wish I had, like a lack of craving and hunger. I got over the head hunger and am consciously asking myself "am i hungry" now, but the answer is "yes" 4 times out of 5. I'm not eating a ton, but I do wish for those 1st few weeks when food was the enemy and it neither tasted good nor sat well. It was easier then. I'm still doing mindful eating and all, but it's harder than it was, especially now that I am able to eat things like rice, veggies, etc., and can pass up the proteins. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth - it's a blessing.

I agree, I have almost no appetite and sometimes have to force myself to eat I know we're not really supposed to do that but if I don't, I never eat. I have noticed that I crave salt a lot more.
