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.

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.
