Hey there...

What do you do when you have NO desire for food? I miss at least a meal and a snack a day, I just don't think of food, I practically hate food! I'm a month out, on regular food, and I actually miss the clear liquid phase. I drink a lot. Crazy, I know! When I do eat, I eat pure Protein and almost nothing else. But if I don't eat all my meals and Snacks, I will be nutritionally deficient in so many ways and get sick. I use my protein shots (New whey Protein Shots) and I take all my supplements, but in the food department it is such an endless battle! I'm not stupid, I can force myself to eat to stay healthy, but I feel I shouldn't have to force feed.

Does anyone else have this problem?

Hello there,

I still have times when I do not feel like eating as well. I try to at least get a little bit of Protein in when I feel like that. The first 6 weeks were probably the most difficult for me as I had no appetite what so ever! I actually found a great book on Amazon that I downloaded to my Kindle for like $4. that has some great recipes. I am actually really enjoying the variations. It's called "Chef Dave's Recipes for Weight Loss Surgery Success." I highly recommend it. There are several ideas for each phase. Especially the stage you're in there are a lot the utilize protien supplments and others that are just regular foods. Each recipe shows nutritional value as well.

Six weeks out, never hungry - and I love it! And yes - I definitely have to remind myself to eat.

I was told as long as I get in 80gms of Protein, 64oz of Fluid and took all my supplements food was not that important?? I hardly eat much, it takes me two meals to eat a cheese stick! Ok now I'm worried.
