No appetite 2+ weeks post-op



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 3/15 and was cleared today to move to pureed foods. The problem is that I have absolutely no desire to eat. (I've never typed that sentence in my life

I was all ready to make my ricotta bake and eat some Beans but when I actually went to eat something, I gave up after a bite. I wasn't nauseous, I just didn't want to eat. Anyone else have the same experience?

I've been drinking my Water and Protein Shakes fine since surgery, but that's all I've consumed. Is it bad to wait until I actually want to eat or should I force myself to try and get back into solid (pureed) food?

I was sleeved on 3/23 and so I'm about 1 wk out, my surgeon requires 3 WEEKS of liquid post-op which I thought was crazy talk BUT being in the throws of it, I don't hv much of an appetite to do as much cheating as I thought I wanted to do, lol...I say that to say as long as you're keeping up on your Proteins and liquid there should be no harm in staying on liquids as some Dr keep their patients there anyway.

I was told if you aren't hungry it is not horrible at the beginning if you don't eat but make sure you are getting all your liquids. My nutritionist recommended Isopure low carb beverages so you get Protein from your liquid, in addition, to your Protein Shakes if eating is a problem.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
