help no appetite

I'm trying to switch to full fluids but i have absolutely no appetite. I'm struggling to get my protein shakes in as it is but feel i should try some cream soup or something else. What did you guys start with after clear fluids and did you feel full all the time. Do you start getting an appetite???  It's weird but i'm almost afraid to try full fluids.
I'm feeling really down in the dumps with these drains and feel like i'll never eat normal again. My life seems consummed with charting every hour what i drank or how much protein i've drank. I'm definitely having buyers remorse right now.
help!

OK I haven't had my surgery yet, but I hear that it's normal to not want to eat. The NUT told me to set a timer to make sure I eat something every 3 or so hours once on full fluids. If you are nervous to eat full liquids, then hold off for a few days. Just keep working on your protein shakes and water first. I imagine you will feel ready very soon!

You will feel normal again and all of this stuff will seem like a blink or an eye eventually. I had my tonsils out when I was a teen and couldn't eat for a few weeks..it seemed like nothing a few months after.

Try to keep positive, this is going to get much better!

Hey Sue,
Glad to hear your home and moving onto the next phase!!!

When I switched to full liquids I did alot of Campbells cup of soup. They have cream of mushroom, cream of chicken and tomato vegetable. I would have that and add a teaspoon of plain greek yogurt into it. It's pretty good. Now wait I am on pureed foods is that the same as full liquids??? Anyway I will continue with what I ate the second week and therefore am still on. I eat flavoured greek yogurt (good ole Target), pureed tuna with a little bit of mayo and some more plain greek yogurt. I also eat popsicles for the fluid. I have tried to get my protein in with the shakes and drinks but it seriously makes me want to gag so I am hoping to try and get my majority from the food I am eating. I had some trouble with plain water, it doesn't sit too well in my tummy so I tried gatorade, G2 the 20 calorie one and vitamin water, peppermnt tea and this morning I had coffee, mmmmm yummy! As for an appetite...no I don't have one but I miss eating and I think that is part of the buyers remorse that I have. I find it hard to not be able to eat what everyone else is eating but I know that time I will be able to. I hope!!! LOL! As for normal eating, if I think I will eat the way I normally did...NO I won't. And somtimes I miss that. But I have to remember why I did this...to be heathly and to help me lose weight. So I can do things with Hudson!!!

I am sorry that you still have those horrible drains in, I can't imagine and am sorry. Hopefully they will be out soon!

Take care chicky, it will get better, i promise!!! You have had a hard time and need time to adjust to everything going on and everything that happened.

We are all here for you anytime you need us!

I will send you my phone number and you can call me if you want....anytime! Well maybe not anytime, but you get what I mean! LOL!
