Embrace! Embrace! Embrace! Capitalize on your honeymoon period. Let the weight fall off you by the barrel full!!!!

Eat only for fuel! Do what you need. Keep is simple and find new pursuits and new ways to get excitement and pleasure. This is a blessed once in a lifetime opportunity. You will likely NEVER feel this way again due to your WLS.

I never thought I’d feel this way cuz I looooved ma food.. now I use food as medicine and I only eat what’s good for me because of food aversion and the fact that everything tastes different now.. this girl now loves salads...I’m as baffled as anyone!!!

I went through that at 4 months. I hated everything. My nutritionist said its extremely common 4-6 months out and it would pass, it did.

At about 1 month post op, I was totally not interested in eating. I felt like it was a chore and I was perfectly fine not eating at all. This lasted about 2-3 weeks and I think I just ate/drank Protein Shakes and yogurt (and the occasional bite of chicken) during this time. These days I'll still have a day here or there when I'm not in the mood to eat, but I force myself to eat something for nutrition's sake...which I think in turn may be perpetuating my aversion to eat.

For us wls folks, I guess its a good thing, because we don't overeat, but it's also not so great if you aren't getting all your nutrients in. Aim for balance....

P.S. On the flip side of things, however, I do love to cook/prepare meals and plan what to cook/prepare, to the point where the fam thinks it's getting a little obsessive.

Haha I totally force myself to eat but I laugh because my famiy is getting the whole its obsessive thing and its only week 7 haha! My family has a well balanced meal every day. Frankly my husband says man ill just eat cereal...no no way Ill cook 2 veggies and meat but I eat 4bites hehe
