When does the post-op diet get better?
I am 12 weeks post-op. I am down 65 pounds and feel great. The problem is that I can't eat. I can go an entire day without feeling hunger. I drink water all day long. I am taking my vitamins. At dinnertime I try to eat SOMETHING...but nothing interests me...and if I do have something, I am forcing myself to throw up after eating, because it just doesn't feel right. At night I can drink sugar-free hot cocoa and have a pretzel. Or I can eat 2 sugar-free popsicles. When will it get better? Everyone tells me that it takes time. I am definitely NOT getting the required protein in...I've tried the supplements...they make me gag. What I REALLY want, I can't have: a piece of italian bread dipped in fresh sauce. Will my day ever come?
