Never Hungry!

Hi everyone. I know i should not be complaining, but i have no appetite at all. I am so turned off by food. I feel like eating is a chore. THe problem is i know i need to eat to loose and be healthy. Its such a weird feeling going from eating so much to not wanting to eat at all. Ok Lisa shut up already. How is everyone else doing?

LisaMarie, I understand what you are saying and it does not last forever. I know for a while I was eating and sick of all the chewing but you get past that and you do start to feel hunger again though it is not like it was in the past but it can be there at times. I also noticed that food did not taste the same as before surgery but that gets better with time as well. I know there are still things that I just loved before and now they just do not taste the same to me but most things are ok. I know those protein shakes sure helped me get the calories and protein I needed at that time and I wish I would have known about the Stallone puddings then. Take care hun ~hugs~ Debra P

Thanks. I am not able to drink the protien shakes they make me feel yucky.....i try to get in some pudding also but its so hard, i dont want it. I cant even get in all the water i am supposed to....boy this is harder then i thought it would be.

LisaMarie, Like Lisa said this will get easier hun ~hugs~ I am sorry that the shakes make ya yucky, I know they gave me gas and made my tummy upset then I realized that I was using the 1% milk with it but it still has so much sugars so now I use the Carb Control and it is MUCH better. Debra P

HEY LISA... very normal at ur stages post op. IT does go away in time. YOU eventaully can eat more and want more. ITS wierd its like a switch was flipped in the brain!!! As for me, i been sick all weekend with the runs. ITS definitely viral being my 2nd child is comeing down with the stomach virus too. I am barely eating and its not good. MIGHT call the surgeon today being i been with this since friday. OTHERWISE i am looseing but i think thats cause everything is going right thru me. ((HUG)) LISA 310/293/???

Lisa, hun I hope you feel better soon ~Hugs~ I am sorry you have the flu, it can he hateful and I know since the surgery I think it is something more right away. Take care of yourself and try to make sure you get all you need! P.S. I see you did it again, you put 293 instead of 193 Old habbits die hard, right? Hey see we are right on with each other again. I was 192 this morning....Hey I am the same way when I add more fruit it seems to help Take care and feel better soon Debra P

Wow Lisa lucky you! I was like that in the beginning now I can eat like a normal person. However I don't get enough health food in me. I need to work harder towards that.

Hi Lisa Good to see you! I can tell you that you are NOT alone. I have no appetite either and once in a while I might crave something and I'll try to eat it only to be turned off by it after one or two bites. I get frustrated sometimes, but I focus on the fact that this WILL pass (from what I've read) and that someday I'll be WISHING I had no appetite! We're just in those "baby" beginning phases right now, so I guess we have to be patient? I miss the joy of eating right now, but I know that will come back and in the meantime I have the joy of losing weight! HUGS, Vi P.S. Don't SHUT UP!! VENT GIRL VENT!!
