    3 months out and I'm losing all taste for food. I now because I have to. I don't really enjoy anything now. I hope this passes. I mean its good for my weight loss but it sucks to feel like I dont like my food all the time.

      I am 10 weeks and have lost 80% of hunger, having to force myself to eat. Honestly, I will be glad when hunger returns.

      Veronica -- I avoided exercise for 50 years, but then found bikes and swimming, totally addicted now... just find your passion.

      Coach, I am a shrink and would consider it unprofessional to handwrite a letter like that.

    I still haven't decided which surgery i want i think the sleeve becasue there's no moving things around and no dumping.But the gastric bypass my mom had and gained her weight back i guess if u eat junk that will happen and is the pouch they make the same size for both surgerys

    1. VDB

      VDB

      Agree with Shannon. Also, I have had RNY and only one major dumping episode in 9 weeks, these are controlled with good eating habits.

      Don't forget -- Cream of Wheat (non-instant) with added protein powder -- is the best early soft food I enjoyed....
