I'm 7 weeks out and have pretty much lost all my appetite for food. Nothing sounds good or really tastes good. I find myself not wanting to eat even if I am hungry. I am finding some type of protein to eat but it is a struggle. Has anyone else had this experience?

No worries, this is *very* common. I went through it too, and it was like this for the first 3 months post op. Once my stomach started to get used to solid foods again, my appetite began to work its way back. I also have times when I couldn't care less about food still to this day... then in a few weeks my appetite will increase again. I'm six months post op now.

Another benefit of the sleeve! If I'm taking my PPI and drinking enough water, food really doesn't interest me too much. I love it!

I'm exactly 7 weeks out today and I was going to post almost the same thing! In the last few weeks I've gotten up in the morning and had a poached egg and coffee with milk. Today I just couldn't get myself to have more than a few bites of yogurt. Then 5 hours later I tried to eat some very soft chicken leftover from last night-I could only have a couple bites before I was crazy full. Same thing with supper....this is the day with the LOWEST APPETITE/general ability to eat yet. I've lost 27 lbs so far which is really good because my BMI was only about 32 when I started. But this new low amount of food is shocking-I need more than this! I'm trying to just eat high protein foods, but if I have to stop after a few bites I HAVE TO STOP or I will pay the price! I guess this is what were asking for but WOW.

I was sleeved a little over 10 weeks ago and in the past 2 weeks, my hunger has gone away. After surgery I felt hungry like before and I wasn't happy about it. I guess since the stomach is healing, the hunger is gone. I literally have to eat just to eat. I love not being hungry all the time like I was before. I don't take any PPI's either. Don't need them.
