4 weeks out/ no desire to eat



Recommended Posts

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?

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!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
