Have you ever?

You know you have to eat & you have all kinds of things you could eat, but you are standing there with the fridge wide open just staring & wanting nothing. That's me tonight. I know I have to eat but there is nothing I want at all. It's one of those moments I had pre-surgery where I would of just picked something easy & non-nutritious to eat. I could go for some watermelon, but that does not help me in the protein dept. I hate when I'm like this. Usually I just eat because I know I need to not because I want to, but sometimes like tonight my mind wants to rebel. Needless to say I go to my default foods either pintos & cheese or Ham & cheese rollups. I eat alot of pinto's. Lol  Anyone else feel this way? I know I can't be alone in this.

I feel ya.  I'm a newby...roughly 2 mos out and had to address my concern for lack of interest to my surgeon the other day.  I fix something to eat, intending to eat it (well, some of it) only because I think I should since I have entered the first phase of the progression diet they have me on...Only to ingest no more that half a tsp then turn it down.  I didn't/don't know if I am simply already full at that measley amount of food or if I'm just not interested in food.  I have no appetite at all to speak of and quite frankly, despite however not so tasty they are, I prefer and am content with a protein shake.  I thought I was the only one, but I am actually quite glad I'm not alone....lest we are the only two

No Not the Only One"s I am the same way did good till got to solid foods and something when wrong don't want to eat could just do the shakes but DR.would let me so my take in of food is about 2 tbsit may be in our minds but it hard to get that spoon up there to your mouth.Wish you both good luck.. 

I miss those days.... I'm two years out and maintaining well, but now I can EAT! I look in the fridge and tell myself not to eat. I remember those early post-op days when I couldn't even look at food and had to force myself to eat. Enjoy these times :)

how about just having a protien shake?? or a bit of Greek yogert (I bought the vanilla kind yesterday ..YUMMM)

I'm 3 months out and had one of those days yesterday. Nothing looked good, nothing sounded good. I didn't feel hungry (which I never do anyway, but still it would have helped if I did!) I was even having issues with drinking my liquids. Today, I'm back on point. Nothing sounds or looks good, but I'm eating anyway. I know I can't make up for the lack of protein I got in yesterday, but I can make sure I do what I need to today.
