4 weeks out/ no desire to eat

I had surgery 5/8 and I've been doing great but for the last week I have no desire to eat or drink, and no hunger. I'm pushing through it with drinks and Protein shakes.

Anyone else feeling this?

yup, I was the same way... it takes time.

I wish I was that way, consider yourself lucky!!!

There are days that I feel that way and other days that I feel famished! Just do your best to get all your liquids and protein in. Use those days of not being hungry to evaluate what you are eating and try to gain some perspective for those days that you want to eat everything in sight.

Isn't this a weird feeling????

I'm three weeks out and I should be starting soft foods tomorrow, however I'm going to continue the puréed stage longer because I don't eat anything, I'm still doing my shakes. I feel blah after I have a couple of bites if applesauce or retried beans. No way I can start soft foods tomorrow.

I'm never hungry or thirsty.

I literally have to set an alarm on my phone to eat my meals and I carry a Water bottle that I've frozen the night before in my purse and sip all day long. As it thaws it allows for just sips of water to stay hydrated. Ive noticed that I cannot get water cold enough to be palatable. I don't enjoy food anymore and thats a change because I used to be a huge foodie.

Sacrifice I suppose. I had my sleeve done on 4/17 and I'm 50 pounds down. I wouldn't change anything.

Good luck!

I forgot to eat today. I drank my water but that was it. Oops 3 weeks out and not hungry.

Is everyone else eating every 2 hours? 4 oz or until you get full whatever comes first? I do....but I have to see the clock I am never hungry

I'm six months out today and still never feel hungry. With a busy work schedule and traveling I forget to get and drink - ugh!

Sleeved may 9th and have the exact same issue
