Tired of eating and drinking

Is it just me or is anyone else tired of eating and drinking? I would love to go one day without forcing myself to eat or drink. Especially drinking my protein drink. I'm just tired of it all. Okay, I'm done complaining.

I hear ya! I feel the SAME way! And I feel really guilty when I look at my food journal and realize I haven't even come close to getting enough protein in for the day.

Well, we must be all normal for this stage of the game, cause I feel the same way. Eating use to be fun and now its a chore, hopefully soon it will get easier. I hear the first month or two is really hard, so I am praying for my 1 month anniversary to see it get easier. Dana P

I will join you for a glass of whine! I didn't realize how much my whole life revolved around food! I feel like an outcast. I am just not to the point I can eat enough solids that it is even worth while to go out to a restaurant! Sometimes I wonder what I have done to myself. However, that feeling goes away when I step on the scale! Robin

wow, you feel exactly like I do! I never thought it would be possible for me to say that I DONT WANT TO EAT!! the protein drinks are getting way to sweet for me. weird, I used to be a big sweet eater! im almost 6 weeks post op and still have to eat very small smushy portions or I get kinda sick. I hope by 6 months post op that I can eat a little more normal. Right now its yogart and soups and popsicles. Im not hungry but I know I need the vitamins and protein so I try. I thnk I can get in about 500-600 calories a day. This is still the most wonderful event for me.. I have lost 54 lbs in 5 weeks. I think im at a slow down, havnt lost a lb for a week now. Good luck to everyone Sally

I feel like that too! It is just too much trouble to be bothered! If you eat, it has to come out one way or the other!!! And if it did not agree with you, you have to deal with that! I would love to not have to bother with eating! (I NEVER thought I would ever say that!!!)

How funny. I just posted the same thing without looking at the other posts. I am definitely sick of it!

Dianne, OMG! I could have written this post! I had the same surgery date as you, and feel exactly the same way. Worse yet, I have only lost 22 pounds! I keep thinking, I went through this for 22 pounds? My PA says, be patient, it will come off more slowly because I am considered a "lightweight". It is hard to be patient when you haven't dropped a size, your whole day is consumed with eating and drinking only to fall short of the goals of water and protein, etc. I go back to work on Friday and the saddest part is that no one can even tell I have lost ANY weight. Thanks for the whine! Sher Lo

Nice to know I'm not the only one feeling this way. I used to live to eat and now I'm eating to live. I hate eating. Never thought I would ever say that. But I really hate to eat.
