Hi everyone,

I had my surgery in June and just had my second band fill on September 30th. For about a week everything was fine, business as usual. Then after a week I was disgusted by food. Nothing sounds appetizing. The thought of food makes me nauseated. When I do eat something - yogurt, Protein Shakes, veggies, whatever - it goes down all right so I don't think my band is too tight but I'm not really sure?

Is this maybe just a psychological thing? I did have some bread stick for the first time, which freaked me out. Shortly after is when I lost my taste for all food. :/

Thanks in advance for the advice!

Happened to me that way...my taste for foods completely changed...and to this day, I have no interest in food or eating...

I can, and have gone full 24hrs anf forgot to sit down for a meal...especially when I am occupied doing something else like traveling.

It is as thouigh my brain says I'm full and satisfied, no need to eat, no interest to eat...even though physically I have not had anything to eat all day.

In other words, I haver no hunger, no cravings! I'll take that!!!

Especially when my problem with being obese was that I coukld not stop eating...I was like a machine or trying to win a contest.

I can go to a resturant and stare at the menu, not finding anything that interests me, and what I do order I don't come close to finishing. Just pick at it........I can wander around a grocery store and come away with next to nothing....

I can go to buffets, parties, family gaterings such as thanksgiving and not be tempted at all....

I don't need any stratagies or plans to get through situations....

The band is the cure for all that....

That is another reason I will not call my band a tool...I have no control over it, or something I can "Use"

It's in control of me....

If you look at the characteristics of the "Green Zone", it simply says "No Hunger"

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
