I literally don't want to eat sometimes because I get nauseous. I feel like I'm pregnant with no baby. Sometimes it's the smell, or I take two bites and I cannot eat anymore. I feel sick. I have been drinking Gatorade zero for the last 8 weeks, it makes me sick to think about it. The protein shakes same thing. THe vitamins make me want to gag. Although, I can eat some things, based on my recommended diet but uhhhh, it's rough. I don't overfill myself, small bites (sometimes) I do forget, takes practice. Here and there, I will eat faster by mistake....after eating one way for 40+ years, it takes a minute to get used too...ya know, I think I answered my own questions on this one.

2nd thing, my period...wth! I have been doing fine for the last year, light, no cramping, couple days tops! Then WHAM! Serious cramps, so bad I was getting nauseous, didn't want to eat or drink. Going on 7 Days - is slowing down now. Heavy (really) heavy....

As far as everything else, it's ok, losing the weight, working out a little, getting used to moving and feeling better.

Any info would be much appreciated.

Hormones get seriously disrupted from this surgery, sometimes takes a year for them to swing back to normal so your period could be unpredictable for quite some time.

Yes, you will have smell aversions, food aversions and other weirdness. Most of these go away in a few months but not all. And anyone's guess as to which ones too!!! It's a very interesting science experiment. When i am full I get a runny nose, hiccups or sneeze or 2 of those, in the beginning my nose ran so much it was embarassing, now it's mainly hiccups w slight runny nose lol I still am not crazy about chocolate or anything super sweet - gagging.

Sometimes you have to switch things up.
If creamy whey shakes are no longer palatable, move to plant based. I went to Raw pea protein and mix it with berry flavored or coffee flavored pea protein. They are great in a blender because the good ones don’t froth or get whipped with air!
Everything is too sweet for me now so I water everything down.
I don’t play the menstrual game. Threw that uterus away after my only child at 35! What a blessing!

Thanks so much, your input is much appreciate!

I don't know how old you are but have your ob/gyn check for uterine fibroids. What you are describing is how I was when I had a big fat (size of a large grapefruit) uterine fibroid and that bad boy gave me all the symptoms of pregnancy, hated the smell of certain things, morning sickness, crazy periods etc. so it wouldn't hurt to talk to you obgyn

I wouldn't worry too much about the period issues. Everything gets out of whack for a few months. I was told that and reminded it after too lol. But you can mention it to your doctor and ask just to be reassured. As for protein they do have protein waters available.....I haven't tried any yet but I think I am going to get unflavored protein because I also got sick of the shake taste and can't seem to do the one's I still have right now.
