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.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
