A love/hate relationship

...Okay is it just me or do you all hate food too??? I used to be up for eating anything (pre-op) now I hate food. It seems like such a task everyday. Granite, I do eat but it seems like such a pain in the butt now a days. Its not that I don't like what I am eating its just that the time it takes to chew and find something that you can tolerate...which lord knows that changes every day to then you have to prepare it correctly and sit and eat. I lose interest any more .lol I would have NEVER pictured me hating food. Amazing how things change !

Be grateful!  I can eat anything, and l like it like I used to.  Now I have to work at keeping my weight off.  It's just that this time I am blessed with knowing what will happen if I go back to old habits

"if I knew then what I know now"   Well that is not an excuse for me anymore since I DO know.

Don't know how far out you are, but I went through a stage of that too. What I find now is that I don't look towards expecting to LOVE my food like I used to. I eat more simply, with way less emphasis on fulfillment and way more emphasis on functionality. I o like to eat again, but I don't need to love to eat again, if that makes sense.

It's kinda funny you posted this cuz I told my husband this just a little bit ago.  We were at the grocery store and I was trying to find things that I could fix for breakfast and lunch and have for "snacks" but I just am so tired of food.  I don't want to eat at all.  And the things that I enjoyed before surgery and even in the last couple of months since surgery have no appeal to me at all! I used to love eggs, chicken, steak, hamburgers, pork, refried beans, beef, cheese, etc. but just can't stand any of it anymore!  All I really ever want is shrimp, fish, salad or brunswick stew.    It is very hard, though!!  I finally found a protein shake that I like so as soon as we get paid, I will get a container of it and drink those when I just can't eat.   Hopefully though, this too shall pass...
