Does Eating/Food ever become enjoyable again?



Recommended Posts

I'm 7 weeks post op RNY. I've followed the doctors orders to a t. I get my Protein and Water in religiously.

When does food become enjoyable again??

Right now, something can look appealing and I'll have a bite and it will be painful...or l will have a couple bites and feel nauseous. Pretty much, the only thing that doesn't do this is Water.

Help?

I'm 1.5 years out and it's still a struggle. food still makes me nauseous at times. Also, sometimes I may have a certain food on my mind, and can be extremly hungry, but only eat A very small amount before I'm full.

How funny you post this today. I just said to my husband at dinner eating is really no longer enjoyable. It's like Forrest Gump said, you never know what you're gonna get. The end result is a mystery. Some days I can eat fine and the same thing another day has absolutely no appeal.

I guess everyone is different. My sister had her gastric bypass surgery around 15 or 16 years ago. She can eat, but still has trouble with certain foods such as ketchup, ice cream, rice, and yogurt. And she said Pasta fills her up extremely fast. My mom on the other hand had her surgery like 13 or 14 years ago and pretty much can anything except for rice regular sodas, and ice cream.

      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! 😞
