I’m 7 weeks post op and I’m bored with food. I’ve started to do Protein Shakes more often because I’m uninterested in eating. Has anyone else experienced this?

a lot of people lose their hunger and their interest in food for a few months after surgery. And unfortunately, for most of us, it comes roaring back - and that's when things get a lot harder. So enjoy it while you can - it'll never in your life be easier to lose weight than it will right now, when you don't give a flip about food.

It's important to eat to plan, even if you don't feel inclined to do so.

First, eating to plan is healthier than not eating or not eating to plan.

It's almost impossible to not lose weight in the first few months. Whatever you do or don't do during this period is being connected in the deep, dark recesses of our mind to weight loss. Eat to plan, eat horrible foods, don't eat, over eat, whatever, it becomes what your mind associates with success.

You really want this connection to be with "eating to plan".

Make good choices now. Then it's easier to keep making good choices later.

Good luck,

Tek

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
