No appetite and No Taste?
on 2/22/15 8:27 am
I'm just finished my 3rd week post op and I find I have no appetite and absolutely no taste. In fact I find eating such a chore. I have to start early in the morning because I spend the whole day trying to get food in.
Not complaining just wondering if anyone is/has gone through the same thing?

I am almost finishing my week 4 and had the same feeling as what you are experiencing now - however, this week I am staring to feel a bit hungry. I feel that I need to chew. I asked the nurse at my one month appointment and she said it is very normal. When I say I am starting to feel hungry - it is about 3 hrs. My first go to food is protein shakes, cottage cheese, eggs and soup. I have tried curry beans ( mashed ) for the spice taste. My pouch did not like mashed potatoes . Oh one more thing - I find that choc shake is too sweet now - taste buds are changing from week to week .

Dolly after 2 weeks of opti I was so turned off of anything that resembled a shake! Today was the first day that it actually stayed down. I blended fruit and it was ok.
working on getting into a routine and can't wait to start exercising this week!!!!! Yay.
I too find many things too sweet...which I think is a good thing.
