I had gastric sleeve surgery on Feb 16th and everything been great I lost 63 pounds so far, but for the last week I have no appetite for anything, it’s like I’m force feeding myself just to get my daily Protein intake. Today was pretty horrible because I have no energy do to lack of eating but after two to three bites of anything I eat I don’t want it at all, I start to gag or feel extremely nauseous. Now about a week and a half ago I realized I hate eating do to you the mild discomfort (not pain) and don’t know if what I’m experiencing is really lack of appetite or just a mind thing.

I want to know if anyone experienced the same ? And if so what did you do to fix it. I don’t want to get sick or weak because I don’t want to eat

I didn't like eating for the first few months - it seemed like a chore and I was never hungry - but I wasn't experiencing pain or discomfort when I ate, though. I'd run it by your clinic and see what they say.

I didn’t feel hungry or really interested in food for ages either. Still have odd days like that. I had to eat to a routine - better to eat a small amount than nothing at all. I agree with @catwoman7 & think you should contact your medical team to discuss your nausea, discomfort & gagging.

It may be something simple that’s causing the issues. Multi Vitamins used to make me nauseous every day. Certain foods can cause me discomfort too - char grilled foods are too dry & coarse for me to eat. I recently discovered the reason I can gag & develop a build up of phlegm in my throat when I eat is because I haven’t drunk enough.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
