1 month post op and I feel like I find no more joy in food anymore. Like I eat for nutrition/fuel. Does my statement sound weird? I detest eating, I hate thinking about food because I have to watch what I eat or I'll get sick. It's such a chore. It's a huge adjustment when the act of eating what ever you want is such a big part of your life.

I'm happy I got sleeved, I'm happy with my weight loss. But I miss eating. Does anyone else feel like this? Thoughts? #vsgisamindfuk #emotionaleater #icantimsleeved

Take this time to choose high nutrition. You have to eat so eat the things that are the best choice for your body. I kind of thought it was a chore as well in the beginning. I started eating very healthy at that time. Now 5 mths out I WANT the healthy choices. I crave spinach and roasted veggies, baked chicken and salmon, laughing cow cheese and roasted chickpeas! I watch my son eat a cheeseburger and all I see is fat and grease lol ....I tend to lecture him even though he is a perfect weight and very active. I still crave sweets though....but I found simply fruit spread, s/f jello and popcicles and fudgecicles and special K or nature valley protein bars and they all take the edge off. I experiment with spices and things now too. You will develop a new normal over the next couple of months.

Ditto! I used that time to eat only stuff that was good for me. Now that's what I actually want to eat. (Except when I was home for Christmas and all I wanted to eat was my mom's homemade cookies and bars ????)
