I can't eat...is something wrong?

I am about 14 wks post op RNY and I have been having an extremely hard time getting in all my liquids and/or food. I seem to have to focus on one or the other because I can't seem to get them both in during the course of a day. There is nothing physically wrong, its all in my head. For one, I don't want to eat AT ALL. I have a hard enough time getting in 2-3 oz of food a day let alone the 4 oz I'm supposed to be getting in at each meal. I feel like I'm not at my goal weight so I don't want to add more food into my diet even though that is what has been instructed for people who are as far out as I am. Anyway, on the days I do decide to eat, it takes me like 1-1 ½ hrs to eat one meal. I'm a very slow drinker so to take that much time out of my day for each meal makes it practically impossible for me to get my liquids in that day. I am trying. I want to follow the rules and do this right. I just feel like I am failing. Do you have any suggestions that might help me want to eat or eat and drink faster? Maybe I need counseling? I don't want this to turn into some ED which I've had in the past. Thanks for any advice!

I was the same way at first then it passed. After my surgery I felt like if I never ate again I would be happy. It somehow just seemed to make me indifferent to food at all. Not to mention yogurt and shakes don't exactly taste awesome after weeks. Even a year post op though some days I don't feel like eating. Sometimes not even indifferent I can get physically ill around certain foods. The thought of grease causes me distress to say the least.

Hang in there, the first year is NOT EASY - but that is when you lose the most weight. Mine was May 22, 2006 after 4 months of suffering..... I would hear others could eat fast foods! I thought, well they are just lying. . Now it is a year and a half later, I can finally keep an egg down, and drink water without extreme pain. Finally! It feels so good to drink water! There are still things I can't eat and yes I still throw up ... but maybe only once a week instead of several times a day. You now know this surgery is not for sissys, and when I hear people who say this is the easy way out,,, I'd like to smack'm. I have had problems yes, an ulcer too but would I do it again? Yes! Yes! Yes! I have lost 113 lbs. Look & feel much better. Eating is not my favorite thing to do anymore - but that is the way it should be. Right! So hang in there kid'o You can do it - you are not alone! !
