No Appetite Pre op

I am pre op at this time and have been following Kaiser's pre op diet and I have no appetite. This is weird to me, and I know I should be eating but the hunger just isnt really there. Has anyone else had this happen? Any suggestions? Do I just need to set my timer and make sure to eat? Do you all think this is something I should call my nutritionist about or is this just a phase that will pass?

Any help is greatly appreciated...

 Hi, I had the same problems when I started my pre-op diet as well.  My nut just said that I needed to make sure to eat regardless if I was hungry.  So I set myself little reminders on my phone.... it was definitely a strange feeling to not be hungry after a lifetime of always wanting to eat!  I think my non-appetite had alot to do with stress and anticipating all my pre-op appts.  Just try to get in your protein first and everything else next and you should be fine.  Good luck!

which kaiser facility are you going through?

South San fransisco

Sweet!!! So am I!!!

I had my Orientation last November. I'm taking my time getting used to this diet plan they've given us. I'm just such a picky eater that I have to do things repetitively and it gets quite boring. =(

What appointments have you been to so far? 

Lets see, I started in april, and the meal plan hasnt actually been that hard for me, I am a horribly picky eater also. I can try to help you with comming up with new things, if you would like. Do you know who your surgeon will be?

I guess my process is moving quite fast compaired to others. I have had the first orientation where you get your "bible"(second to my bible bible") I then met with my surgeon dr. Alami, then he set me up for the lifestyle and nutrition classes, and with the psychologst  and I met them in early may, now i will be meeting Dr Alami again on the 6th.

Really??? I find that to be a shock!!! I haven't even met with a surgeon beyond the Orientation. I went to Orientation in November, had Lifestyle Changes and Nutrition 101 in January, then I had my Psych (Matt is GROGEOUS!), and Med Doc appointment in April. I'm not just working on losing the 27lbs of required weightloss before I'm able to see a surgeon. I can't believe you've met with Dr. Alami!! He's quite adorable as well and from what I've heard a very very good surgeon.

Have you decided on which procedure you're aiming for? What was the appointment like with Alami?

Yes, I'd love some ideas on the meal plan! 

You're so awesome...

If you'd like to communicate outside of OH send me a message and I'll give you my info.

I'm Shelley, BTW! 

its funny i was at the hospital 3 days in a row, and let me just say you are dead on with the hotness of them both. I am messaging you right now.
