Never thought I'd hate food!



Recommended Posts

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.

      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.

      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! 😞
