Ill be three weeks post op in Monday. I'm on soft Protein. I literally feel like I'm forcing myself to eat. I'm never hungry. Did anyone else experience this and does it eventually go away? I have a lot of head hunger but the second I take a bite of something, I just don't.....feel it, I guess you could say.

I feel your pain. I am 5 weeks out this week. I was on soft foods but everything I ate made me sick or uncomfortable. So, I would have rather had nothing. I still don't get too hungry unless I go a long time without eating. I promise it gets better. I am still waiting to get all my energy back. Good luck to you!

I'm a year post op and felt the exact same way right after surgery. It does change after a while, in the beginning I had to remind myself to eat and I NEVER felt hungry. I guess about 5-6 months post op I started to get hunger pains, I would eat a spoon full of something and I was full. Now that I am a year out, I can sit down and have a small meal, I know when to stop and in now way can I overeat like I did before surgery. Best think I ever did !!!!

19 days post op and feel that way daily. I have NO appetite. I am eating some soft foods, but have no desire for them. I have now gone 4 days without all of my protien....... I also have only lost FIVE pounds in 19 days, and have been in a stall for 7 days.

I dont have a loss of energy, nor do I feel sick.... I just have NO appetite.

6-8 weeks I started getting hungry (very different than pre-op). Prior to that I pretty much made myself et cuz I knew I needed to...

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
