Disappointed by food

[retonya kidd 1]

I'm 3 weeks out of surgery and everything I eat is disappointing me. I don't even know what I'm suppose to be eating right now.

At 3 weeks out, I was mostly drinking a lot of milk and Protein kefir, eating yogurt and cottage cheese, and I think I started on thinned refried Beans and split pea Soup. Everything had to be completely smooth and runny.

Not sure what you mean by "disappointed".. but this early, it's all about getting your fluids and protein in a smooth, non-irritating texture.. no worries about enjoying your food.

use that to its full advantage. It'll never be easier to lose weight than it is now -when food holds little interest and your hunger is gone. All that will come back in time - probably within a few months - and then things will get a lot more challenging. Be glad that you have no interest in food right now and milk it for all its worth.

Best time of my life has been when food disappointed me. Haha 4 month post. Weights falling off when I'm not interested in food or food makes me have a weird tummy or whatever. I listen to my body.

Lol that’s so true. Actually that’s what alot of us actually want for a period of time with these surgeries, so we can focus on other things and can move away from the food addiction, hence losing weight.

I’m sorry your hungry, that’s gotta change for you to stay happy with the decision to have surgery. So looks like your surgery was about about a month & a half ago.... so are you on soft foods? Or solids? What kind of things are you eating? Are you finding any satiety from things like canned chicken or canned tuna or fish? I’m only 4 wks post op rny & was feeling so hungry at week 3 into this week, week 4..but happily am finding these are so flavorful and satisfying. (My program wouldn’t let me have tuna, chic or fish til today, week 4). I actually just finished a tuna patty (made w/ mayo and dill relish & pepper) and topped with melted cheese on it. You could try that. So yummy & high in Protein. I’m FINALLY not feeling hungry at all with solids now, albeit soft solids.

I couldn’t agree more. I’m about 7 weeks out and nothing tastes good. Still can’t hold down most things , and on solids now. I’m okay not finding foods appealing. It’s helped my issues with food. I do wish I would enjoy some things, and I know in time I will. You will too. We got this .
Each doctor is different, but mine says to eat anything I want within my 700 cals and 100 carbs. Only I don’t even get in a small fraction of that. It’s fine ... like someone else said, listen to your tummy.
