Eat. I don't know what my problem is. I do get hungry, but everything I try for the last few days makes me feel like s#!%. I'm not sure how to remedy this, but I'm not losing at all -not an ounce all week & only 1# last week- and I feel like I'm stumped! Yesterday I tried a taco w/o the shell & threw up. Tried a salad w/ cheese & almonds, thinking maybe the meat was bothering me, but the salad made me super naseaus so I went to bed. The other day I had my absolute favorite salad w/ chicken & felt so-so, but when I tried to eat the rest for dinner I felt like I was going to throw up. Ditto the next day w/ seared tuna. I feel fine unless I'm trying to eat. Im definitely not sick. My morning coffee w/ half&half doesn't bother me & I've had a Protein shake which goes ok. I just don't want to eat! I'm forcing myself. Today all I've had is coffee, a few cashews & half of a muscle milk light. Everything sounds gross & makes me feel gross.

I'm a little over 3 mos out (1/28/12) & I've lost 61#, but 35 of that was the first month post-op. I know if I was eating more calories I'd probably be losing better. Anyone been through this? Any advice?

It sounds to me like something you ate irritated your sleeve and now it's acting up. It has happened a couple of times to me and I just go back to protein shakes and other liquids, no solids at all, for a day or two and then eat something I know won't bother it--for me, that's seafood. I have a scallop or two at each meal, eaten really slowly so I can monitor how it is sitting, and then the next day I'm fine.

I haven't had that problem. I don't want to eat, but it's just because I am not hungry! It also sounds like to me that you are having some irritation, so I would suggest sticking to liquids. Get your calories and protein that way...just like you are on your pre-op/post op diet. Try that for a few days and then see if you can eat solids again.

I hope it gets better!

I actually came to this forum today to find out if others had this problem too. I have absolutely no appetite. I force myself to eat but I do t really have the desire. I'm down 42 # including pre op loss of13. Surgery was March 27. I feel good ,ost of the time tho of course I do tire easily. Last week when I went back to work, I lost 6 pounds. My doc says 4lbs per week. This week I have not lost anything yet. So I guess my question is: is this normal not to have an appetite?
