Never thought I'd hate food!

[Branmuffin 190]

I am 6 weeks out and experiencing an aversion to food I never thought possible! I was prepared to have no appetite; however, even the mere THOUGHT of eggs literally makes me gag! My gag reflex was pretty bad pre-op, but I've noticed it's worse now post-op. The smell of certain foods makes me gag too. Anyone else experience this change? Sometimes I gag and even vomit a little. When I do eat (not much), I'm able to keep it down so I don't think anything is stuck in there, I'm just worried I should be eating more at this stage and not feeling so "blah."

My friend who had the bypass said she couldn't tolerate eggs for months after. Her go to was egg custard to get the Protein in and said it was delish.

Thank you for all the suggestions everyone. Things are getting better & I've been able to eat a little egg now! Slowly but surely...

I never thought I would not "LOVE" food. I eat it because I have to but it really isn't the same anymore. I don't look forward to it like I used too. I love the feeling of not being hungry most of the time. I am only 6 months out and am still finding foods that do not agree with my stomach. Foods I once loved I can't eat anymore such as fried and breaded foods. I can't drink milk hours before or after a meal either; I do miss Milk.
