  • I feel the same way. I'm not bothered by the fact that I don't care about eating. However, I do have to take in all the proper nutrients, so I read labels carefully, and avoid 'bad' foods. I love b

  • Yeah I felt the same for the first 4 weeks. I was drinking a lot of skim milk.

Can't drink broth. Haven't tried tomatoe soup. Gatorade sucks. Sweet Tea sucks. Craving salt terrible (sucked the salt off a Cheetos lol).

I saw my favorite chicken salad in the store the other day and wanted it (i don't know how to make it well).

I had 2 Tbl spoons of pureed new england clam chowder and that all today. Mostly drinking diet Ocean Spray laced with white grape juice.

We will get there!!! :)

I am 1 month post-op and hate eating! I don't crave anything, don't look foward to a particular meal, etc. I used to love scrambled eggs with cheese. Not anymore...they are like lead in my stomach. I eat for nourishment, not enjoyment.

Crystal Lite is saving my life! I love the natural tea with lemon, the orange, and pink lemonade. I was getting sick of plain Water all day. Sigh...

OMG so you guys really can't eat anything? Is that normal? In my support groups, everyone is able to eat everything and this is new for me...wow...I am praying that doesnt happen to me. Yes I want my cravings to reduce but I do still want to enjoy my fav foods in moderation down the road...maybe it will get better for you all...it's still very early for you both... :)

I really hope that happens for me. I don't want to have the cravings for sweets that I have now. I've eaten enough cookies and m&ms to last me the next 42 years. I really, really, REALLY want to get to goal and stay there without having to deal with the cravings anymore. Or at least be able to control them, rather than be controlled by cravings.

I do care I don't care for sweets or junk but the food I favorite I like to keep eating because they wasn't never unhealthy I just don't know if I can never. Eat anything again

I found the cambells cream of chicken and herb soup settled nicely even when everything else was like lead. It has a salty tang from the herbs so maybe that may help with the salt cravings? I did have to blend it first to smooth any chicken chunks. But it is very good.

I'm 2wks and 2 days post op and my mom made some of her famous chicken salad she put in food processor for me and it was delicious..don't know how far out u are but I can do chicken salad just can't really enjoy like I want to becuz I get full off 1 damn cracker w/chicken salad..now

that's frustration
