I don't wont to eat meals!?!?!

I am almost 4 months post op and I beginning not to want to eat any meals. I force myself now because I know it's what I should do. Most of the time I just want to eat celery,carrot sticks or just snack on some fruit or something. Is there anyone else going thru the same thing?

I am so right there with you and this last week my weight loss has suffered because of it. I started eating the Carbwell cereal bars,protein shakes & cheese sticks for the lack of not wanting to really eat anything. I suppose it is a stage we go through....I am sure we just have to focus and make sure we get in what is required...or at least close to it. I wish us luck although I would rather have this problem then being hingry stuffing my face 24/7!! lol Julie -63.5lbs

I live alone and find that I'm not all that interested in food either. I have a carnation breakfast shake made with soy milk in the morning, but the rest of my stuff is often frozen bean enchilda's and tofu cream cheese as I'm serious about protein. I find that when I eat meals with others, at their homes or in a restaurant, I am able to eat more and varied foods. My stomach seems to be developing a built in "stopper" and I haven't vomited in quite a while Hope this is of some help.

Remember to eat. You will get seriously ill if you do not. That is how I became vitamin deficient and took a wonderful trip to the hospital. Try anything and remember to take those vitamins. -Gerriann 15 weeks 90 pounds gone forever!

Hi, I had my surgery on May 14, so I am close to four months out. I have the same problem. But actually, I should not say it is a problem !!! I am rarely hungry. I don't eat protein at all because I just don't like it anymore. Meat is no longer enjoyable. Everytime I eat it, it just has a stong taste that I don't like. I do get my protein in though. I drink it with either Nectar or Zero Carb Isopure. I would say I get 40 to 75 grams a day. I need to focus on making it 75 every day. My doctor said as long as I am drinking it, that is ok with him. There are a few days that I get a little "snacky." But, just as you do, I find that I like to eat the fruits and veggies now that I did not care for before. I bet I have eaten 4 or 5 watermelons since May. I haven't tried celery or carrot sticks though. I eat alot of salads, sliced fresh parmesan cheese, tomatoes, peanut butter and of course, my watermelon. I am not sure what I will do when they are out of season. My fear is that one day this will end and I will be hungry all the time. Right now, I don't mind watching my family eat and have had no anger or resentment that others feel after surgery. I is unbelievable to me. If anyone would have told me before I had surgery that I would not miss food, I would have said, "get outta here !!!" Good luck to all of you. I have enjoyed this site tremendously. One day I will figure out the profile thing and work on mine. Angie Down 71 pounds since May 14th.

Gee, I almost wish I had that problem. I get hungry at mealtime... seriously hungry. It goes away after I eat, but I worry that I eat too much. (my friends all say I don't eat much at all, though) Wish I had some words of wisdom.
