No Appetite!!!



Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, this is my first time posting and I am doing so because I just need a smidge of reassurance. I am in my 7th week since surgery, and I am having serious issues with eating and I have read some older posts from people like macmadame who went through the same thing as I am back in 2009 but I was just wondering if there are any more recent sleevers who are struggling as I am.

I am NOT interested in food what so ever. I can get my liquids in fine but not food or Protein shakes. Why, because I get such a full feeling so fast that I am uncomfortable and well, beyond the full feeling. I do not vomit, but even after two bites, I could call it quits. MacMadame described it in a post as not being depressed about the feelings, but pissy and she could not have said it better. I am pissy. I have talked to two people that work with my doctor who say that this is normal, it takes longer for some people to lose the initial extreme restriction. Could take 2 - 6 months even. SERIOUSLY!!!???

Anyone else struggling to get their Protein and/or food in general in in a day because they have no desire to eat and it makes them feel icky? I want to say nauseated, but it's not to the point where I get sick. I dread getting up each morning practically because I know that I am starting another day of trying to eat without feeling like crap afterwards.

Please tell me there are others out there who have experienced what I am going through and that it will get better because I feel like I could crack. :(

Thanks in advance for any and all replies.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
