Eating gets easier in a few months. You'll start to enjoy your food again eventually. It's normal to feel sad when you can't enjoy eating.

it will get better! One month is nothing. It takes time to get back to normal.

You won't be able to eat the portions you used to eat, but in time you'll be eating small amounts of whatever you want.

My brother did the sleeve before I did.. (he is reason I did it).. He had some emotional issues the 1st few months.. A little depression at not being able to when he wanted to.. He overcame those and it no longer bthers him.. He is 1.5 years post op and looks and feels great.. He has NO regrets..

I am about 9 mos post op and recall a little mental anguish at not being able to eat .. Now I am so glad I cant.. I feel normal and I am happy I no longer have to eat so much food to feel satisfied.. You will get there too! Patience

It's normal to feel this way if you look at some of my earlier post I felt this way but you will start feel better and not so emotional .. I'm cheering you in for better days

Eventually, you will replace the time that you spent eating with other activities. My world has gotten SOOO much bigger. I do a lot of things that I never had time for. Eating is no longer the main highlight of my day. I eat, because I have to, I now enjoy it, somewhat, but it does not have the 'hold' on me that it used to. Early on, I had to set a schedule of when to eat/drink or I wouldn't, had NO interest. You are doing fine, it's all part of the journey.

I think many of us fail to realize just how much pleasure we actually took from eating until we can't stuff ourselves anymore. I know it was a pretty big shock to me after my surgery.

[MeToo 2]

Is it really that big of a shock? I haven't had mine done yet but I can't imagine not being hungry. It is just foreign to me. I'm afraid is what I am. Afraid that I will screw this up somehow like I've done with everything else I've tried to lose weight.

[HatheryOnHerWay 603]

The shock to me wasn't so much that I liked to eat; I mean, I knew I liked the flavors and whatnot. I didn't realize just how pleasure I got from eating large QUANTITIES of food, and being able to finish my whole plate. That's what came as the biggest surprise to me.

I am starting to enjoy food again at 7 months...just not as much as I used to. It isn't the same enjoyment as pre sleeve though.

[kp2010 35]

I agree with you.

[karritous 17]

Eating is going to be a pain in the ass chore that I don't have time to deal with. I no longer have a choice.

So something so human like enjoying is gone I've accepted that.

Good thing I have enough else to keep me busy, and after this much living hell there be some weight loss with this much f**king sacrifice.

I want to hate eating. im preop, so right now trying to stop eating, is like, trying to break up break up, with someone you have loved your whole life, but he or she is a complete loser, who sapps your strength. Until I break free, I will not realize my full potenial.
