Eating is more like a chore...

Anyone else having this issue after being sleeved??? I'm a month post op, and I have lost most of my desire to eat.

Nothing tastes amazing to me after its been chewed to mush... I still can't tell if I'm ever hungry, or my stomach is just digesting... And I always seem to eat one bite too much, leaving me in discomfort after almost every meal.

I do watch what I eat, I take small bites, chew until there is barely anything left, and eat slow...

I guess I didn't anticipate on losing the passion for food... I mean, I knew that the obsession would dwindle, but I don't even enjoy it.

Idk if this is a just a stage... Or something others experience... Idk... Maybe once I'm released to "all foods" I will have a different experience. Right now, I'm still on mushy foods. I pretty much can have everything except raw veggies, breads, pastas, nuts and berries. I'm only able to take in about 4 tsp of whatever I eat per sitting...

Im 3 weeks out and learned my lesson today on overeating, I'm thinking I may end up being just like you and staying away completely. May switch back to liquids again for a bit.

I don't know the answer to this... But what I do know is, if I don't get enough Protein in my meals or enough liquids throughout my day, I am feeling hunger (not head hunger, real hunger). When I eat a good portion of protein in a meal, it will carry me over until its time for my next meal....

I am the same way..I almost feel disgusted after a few bites of food and of course I am not losing cause I am not getting in enough of anything.. its so frustrating.. and don't even get me started on the Vitamins...lol

I am almost 6 weeks post op and even though I can eat most foods everything I try tastes either bland or not good at all. I keep saying to my husband I want something that taste good but have yet to come across it. Some of the things I used to enjoy before my sleeve are so disgusting now, it's really weird. I also eat one to many bites at times. I think I'm not done and then I get this feeling where I'm about to explode. I have to walk around for awhile or lay down...it subsides after about 20-30 min. I figure the better we get to learn our bodies the better it'll get! Good luck with your journey...it can only get better :)
