Hi everyone :) My name is Katiana and I'm a band to sleever (SD 278 CW 238) and Im so concerned for myself. I have ZERO appetite so there I don't eat and barely drink. For example today I had one of the squeeze kids yogurts and a few pieces of watermelon and pineapple and that's all I had all day with about 16oz of water...and that's how my diets be on the regular...as anyone else out there like this???? I feel so bad when I read all the different things ppl are eating and the shakes they are getting in and Im not doing any of that and I know my health is going to decline if I keep at this rate...so please of anyone gone thru this let me know...

Have you tried putting yourself on an eating schedule? Ignore whether you feel hunger - you may not feel hungry. Just plan to have something every few hours and hold to that. Same thing with Water - do things like plan to drink a few sips every 10 minutes whether you're thirsty or not.

Have you spoken with your doctor or dietitian? You're going to get dehydrated if you're only drinking 16 oz of Water in a day! Minimum 48,oz, 64 is better. It also sounds like you're not getting much Protein. I was told focus on Protein first, at least 60 g per day. Have you tried any of the Protein shakes?

I agree with SpaceDust - put yourself on a schedule. Eat even if you don't feel hungry, but not to the point of being uncomfortably full. You may have to eat something every couple of hours, but it's really important that you get in Water and some nutrition!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
