Maybe it's because I am in the pureed stage, but I am hating eating right now. I was so excited to move from the protein shake to the pureed foods, but now I'd rather have the protein shake. I surely hope this changes. I guess I need to go read some posts to see what others are saying about their experiences.

Haha me too. I still drink Protein shakes 6 weeks out. There is nothing pleasant about the first 4-6 weeks eating post op. Its a small price to pay overall right??

I'm on my 3rd week & started soft foods phase. I too rather just drink my Protein and Water.

It does, and it will get better, hang in there.

I am still adjusting to food. The taste of chicken has gotten better I am happy to report. I tried a strip of bacon with my morning boiled egg and wheat toast for the first time post-op and was highly disappointed. My saving grace is that I do like turkey bacon. Go figure. My list of foods is still very short at the moment.

Sad to say, I am glad to see someone is having the same problems as me. I do not enjoy eating still. (amost 4 month post) There are only a few foods that actually go down smoothly and I find enjoyable. Protein shakes and smoothies are still the go to for me. Plus a chopped salad from Subway always does the trick.

Same here I'm 8 weeks out and hate food, nothing tastes the same and anything thicker than soup gets stuck after about 3 teaspoons full. Please tell me it gets easier [emoji21]

Back when I originally posted this, I really was hating food and eating. I am glad to say it gets better. I am no longer have that problem. Now the problem is finding the foods that my stomach can digest with little or no problem. I have be careful also not to overeat. I still can't consume much but my body craves the extra calories because I have increased my workouts. Just know it gets better. I am 11 months post op. For me I started enjoying food again around 7 or 8 months out. Before that I ate only because I knew I had to. Everyone is different and I hope you all start enjoying food (reasonably) soon!
