Never thought I would say this....I'm tired of eating.



Recommended Posts

Every once in awhile a want a bite if something that might taste good...but the process of "eating" is not enjoyable. I eat 3 times a day. I am getting my Protein & Water (but not enough calories?) I will, for example, make myself eat 3-4 oz of fish but I can't eat anything after that.

A lot of the time, after I eat, I just feel yucky.

I just drank a Protein shake for Breakfast and I can tell you I felt better with an empty stomach!

I have never dumped but I keep a close eye in sugar.

Me too... I dont think about eating anymore so either my family has to remind me that its meal time..or I happen to look at the clock.... (who knew that could happen to me? LOL)

and when I do eat I lose all interest in a few bites.... even when it's my favorite foods!

I do drink all the time (water, crystal light) and I do use Protein Drinks so I am getting all my requirements in....just such a task to have to eat!

I went out of my way to buy and prepare enticing recipes with the finest healthy ingredients...it helped me get my tastebuds back in order. I didn't want to eat when I was eating boring, bland food at every meal.

I also eat at the same time everyday; 7,11, and five with a small snack of berries, greek yogurt, and Protein powder at night.

Yep..totally there. Not wanting to really eat..just do it cause I have to. It's about along the same lines as brushing my teeth of shaving my legs...cause I have to :) there's nothing really enjoyable about eating anymore.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
