Not hungry! nothing taste good!

Started 2 week pre-op on January 20 and had RNY on February 3. I'm down 52 lbs...which is great but I'm just not hungry and nothing taste good to me. I'm Making myself eat and drink but it's very unsatisfying and my stomach feels over full most the time. Does this get better over time?

It will get a little better over time. It is common to lose hunger after surgery. It makes losing weight almost automatic. I found that mixing food groups together added flavor back into foods. Also eating foods with a liquid component made it easier to eat, less painful. As a result I began to use home made high Protein chili and Soups. I still rely on them today.

Here is a link with some recipes. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

James Marusek I read your article and it's very informative. The recipes look fairly easy and tasteful. I will most certainly try them. Thank you for responding.

Chili has been a life saver! I am three months post op and never hungry. Eating is a job! I heard it does get better and for now I am taking advantage of my no hunger mode. Heard that doesn't last forever. ????

I agree! The never being hungry is great and it is a chore to eat but I'm afraid of not getting enough calories and my body going into starvation mode...eek!#
