I just passed 7 weeks and honestly I feel like eating is a chore. There is no enjoyment in it anymore. I rather drink everything, but nut said I need to stay away from “slider” foods. So I try to eat at least twice a day now. meat and eggs are just horrible to eat anymore. It’s Hard to describe, but it’s not enjoyable. Does anyone else have issues?

yes - and I wish I still did! It's SO much easier to lose weight when you don't want to eat anything. Your hunger and appetite will eventually come roaring back, and things will got a lot more challenging then.

Believe me, it's not hard to describe--we all felt the same way. I found beef and pork nearly impossible in the first several months, and I really struggled to get in enough Protein every day. I'm relatively lucky that my hunger has not really returned in nearly a year, but I can now eat more--and more easily--than I could at your stage. As Catwoman said, enjoy it while it lasts!

Unlucky.. I'm glad at 3 months my appetite hasn't come back yet and I'm usually satisfied with my shakes; most days :)

Sounds like a good reason to become a vegetarian! Seriously, I became one eleven years ago after getting a lap band. I would like to think I did it for ethical reasons, but I really couldn't handle the meat, so I just quit eating it.

Sure some foods will be intolerant for you for a while and some still are for me even a year post surgery.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
