Can't believe I'm asking this

Will I ever WANT to eat food again? 

I'm having no problem drinking or eating, but nothing is appealing to me.  It's like after you have the stomach flu when nothing appeals to you at all.  I literally force myself to get down a protein shake.   I assume this passes because there are people that have had RNY that struggle with what to eat.  I know it's only been a few days and my body is healing, but it is just weird, weird, weird.

Trust me............You'll be wanting to eat soon enough!  It IS hard early out, but it gets easier as time goes on!  Keep plugging away at it!  One day at a time!

with any luck you will have no hunger for a long time.  You will have head hunger but not physical hunger.  Making the right choices   are key.   You  will need to plan your meals out  at certain times of the day.   getting that protein and fluid in are important

enjoy it while you can

take care

 Thank you all for your responses.  At this point, I don't know if it's encouraging or discouraging news, but this having no desire and having to force yourself to eat is a lot tougher than I thought.  I can see how you could get sick or dehydrated at this point because you really have to force your body to do what you know it needs.  It's cool that it's changing my perspective.  Instead of living to eat, I'm making myself eat to live.
