Your "I hate food" header kind of scare me so I clicked on it. I'm 3 years post op. The first year I felt the same way, then I became afraid of food. Because I have GREAT insurance, I have a Nutritionist, a Dietitian, a psychiatrist, a psychologist, and a Life Coach in my corner and on my speed dial. Without these 5 brilliant people I would never had succeeded in reaching and surpassing my goals. Now that I am 3 years out, I firmly believe WLS is 25% Knowledge, 25% learning, 25% Physical, 25% Mental. Combined, these 5 people have taught me to trust my pouch, listen to my body, trust in food, and to NOT be afraid. If food becomes the enemy, then I will be defeated and all that I have been threw and learned will be for NOT. So during my I HATE FOOD stage, was the prime opportunity for me to forge ahead and start cooking/learning to make and tweek my own WLS recipes, and discover foods that DIDNT make me sick. Long journey but I got there, eventually, with a lot of phone calls and tears. So my advice to you, would be, just because curtain foods make you sick now, try them again in a few months, search for foods that wont make you sick, you have to have a relationship with food, might as well make it happy and peaceful one, I finally did, long journey to get there, but now we don't love a\
