Honestly I get like that when I am constipated and/or bloated. Not saying that is your problem. I just tend to stop eating.

I felt like this for a while as well, and even now, I have days when I don't want to eat. It made me sad to think I would no longer have any joy in eating, but it passed. I think I needed to learn what foods agreed with me and what foods did not, as well as accept, emotionally, that I cannot eat a regular portion of anything. I like cooking and I enjoy eating, but it took about 3 months for me to get to a place where a meal was enjoyable.

I am at that point right now its bot so much discomfortbits the taste of food. It just does not taste the same its awful. I get excited when i get to move up a step but then i get down when i taste the food just does not taste the same yet i am still hungry.

That is so good to hear. I was just asking myself that question today. I am about 7 weeks post op and almost everything I eat doesn't go down smoothly. And I just don't enjoy food as much right now. I was wondering if I'll ever enjoy food again and so am comforted by your post, thank you.
