I hate food

I am starting to hate food. Nothing I can eat tastes that great! I made 2 recipes (ricotta bake and buffalo chicken) and they both made me sick. I think I am going back to full liquids for a few days. I can't believe this but the thought of any food right now makes me ill!

best thing to do is take a step back.. Your stomach just might not be ready to move up yet.. Also take it very slow with very small amounts.

Wow...sorry to hear that...I have been working on a can of refried beans for a couple of days...I did have some cottage cheese for lunch just now...I dont know what I wouldnt know what to do if I felt sick..been lucky so far.

Not a big fan here, either. I have to force myself to eat and while things taste ok, actually swallowing the food is a chore. It's mental and physical. I'll get there, I'm sure and you will, too.

I am 7 mos out and I have to force and remind myself to eat, still! If I didn't I could go all day without eating and that is not good!

I'm with you 100%!!!! Solid foods have caused me so much discomfort that I rather not eat. I've wasted so much food it's ridiculous. I know I'm not getting eating enough Protein as I only eat select poultry and fish. Going back to those Protein shakes is not an option, I gag at the thought. I tried making smoothies and adding Protein powder but drinking through a straw causes air in my stomach which is painful.

Despite all the above I have no regrets just learning to adjust to life with a new stomach.

I'm not a fan of food anymore either and I'm sad:( I love food and I still think about it, want it. I look at blogs of food I can eat soon (I call it food porn, hee hee). But then I eat and I'm like, ehhh not so wonderful. I tried the ricotta bake and that was the closest I've been to liking something. But I don't enjoy anything like before. I keep telling myself it's because I'm only 2 weeks out and I will eventually enjoy food again. Otherwise I get depressed.

I'm 7 1/2 months out and this still comes and goes for me. Right around 6 months is when eating really began to not be such a pain for me. And still now I have days where 500 calories feels fine but I know it's not I need to get at least 800 or I won't lose any weight. Just keep at it and introduce gentle foods first. Good luck
