Omg these past few weeks have been driving me nuts!!!. I don't want to eat. Things I'm supposed to eat I can't cuz it makes me.sick and I hate the taste. I'm lucky to eat once a day and hold it down. I miss dr pepper and sweet tea. I want bread and I didn't even like bread that much before surgery! I wanna cry. Seriously. I had my sugary may 18th and I'm down 40 lbs. I'm so thankful for the sugery, but hate not feeling "normal"

Sounds like you are the 6 week mark. In the early stages meeting the Protein, Vitamin and Fluid requirements are critical. food is secondary. Your body is converting stored fat into the energy that drives your body. That is why you are losing weight.

I found that eating soft foods such as chili and Soups went down much easier than hard foods such as meats, etc. So I went with that. (The liquid portion of Soups count towards meeting your Fluid requirement but not your meal volume limits.) It is important to experiment and find things that you like to eat.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
