Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 Kathy, I know that there were several times during my first year where food just really didn't interest me at all. I basically had to put myself on a schedule and if nothing else, do a protien drink. It was one of those things that I liked the idea that food was not a top priority but I also did not want to get sick because I didn't eat. The only other time I feel this way is when it gets really hot during the summer. Even then I try to eat a little salad or something. Try to find something you can tolerate. Again I emphasize tolerate, ya don't have to enjoy it, like it, want it etc but you do need to nourish your body. It goes back to that old saying that we now eat to live not live to eat.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 Boy, can I relate to that. I go through stages like that.... it passes.... unfortunately. At least when I'm in that stage, I don't want to eat, therefore, no munchies! Hugs, Tigger Unimpressed > Hi Group, > > I have a VERY NEW problem for me.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 My response would be, THANK GOODNESS, and I would proceed to lose some weight. I'd force myself to drink 4 protein shakes a day, and would let it go. If I kept feeling that way for a long time, or lost too much weight, I'd get myself checked out by my PCP to make sure I didn't have some dread disease, but otherwise, I'd be happy to have an ebb in the " ebb and flow " of things.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 It comes, it goes. It's a sad, sad, day when food becomes interesting again. All I can say is that it simply doesn't last.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 Are you taking your protein, vitamins and water? If so, you can probably get along for quite awhile without eating. I didn't eat for a period of about 2 months, and I was fine. Some people have done it for longer than that. My surgeon said that some people go for much longer than that without eating. I know this is a little controversial, but I really don't see any reason to force yourself to eat if you don't feel like it, as long as you continue with your water, protein and vitamins.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 Hi Kathy, For me I was relieved when I became uninterested in food. And still not that interested, I have to make sure that I maintain fuel for my body, take my vitamins and supplement with protein like crazy. When I go through stressful periods now, I up my protein uptake. For me, its like the dragon finally let go... J.J. Medial Lap RNY May 10, 2000 --- WOW THREE YEARS!

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2003 Report Share Posted September 27, 2003 I've eaten very light, or close to 0 since my foot surgery. The meds have messed with my appetite & nausea thingy. But I kept up with my vites & protein. The only side effect is that my smallest clothes are kinda " comfy " now. LOL! Although I will not maintain this lil wt loss, it is interesting to note exactly how little food it took to lose any wt. I mean, maintained the same 5# range for 8 yrs, and then dropped some with the no food days. Well, unless celery & s/f popsicles count as food. LOL! But that is what it took to drop any wt. Shows me just how tenuous my normal wt is. Much deviation and I'll go up. Had to starve to nothing to lose anything. <shudder> No, not anorexic, not crazy, not trying to lose wt. All of my docs decided to change meds about the same time as the foot surgery & accompanying meds. Up dose, down dose, try this new thing. Shoot., my pouch was so mad at me it just said I was stupid and IT WASN'T TAKING IT ANY MORE. !!! I finally put myself back the way I was (on Thursday) and have had the normal amt of food already. Good bye itty-bittiness. LOL! So, what I'm saying is that even though this was kinda frightening & no one could put a finger on it, things CAN change and will. Thanks, Vitalady, Inc.

Guest guest Posted September 29, 2003 Report Share Posted September 29, 2003 Find something else to do. Like, GO SHOPPING! LOL. That's easy for me to say, since I hate shopping. Sometimes, you just don't feel like eating. It's a strange and wonderful new experience. The last week, I haven't felt like eating. Yesterday, I hadn't eaten at all, and my dear hubby was talking to me on the phone...he knows how I am, and asked what I had eaten. I had to tell him nothing, but then I went and opened a can of soup, and literally forced it down. The day before, I had an ounce of cheese. Because he made me eat it while I was on the phone with him. I'll be in serious trouble when he actually gets to Afghanistan. My opinion is, don't worry about not wanting to eat, but don't forget to take care of yourself, as I have. I know I am grieving right now. But I'm thankful that it hasn't sent me into compulsive eating, as it would have 21 years ago. For what it's worth, I've maintained at 150 more or less, for 20 years. I'm guessing I'm going to be 120 when DH comes home. At 5'10, I'll look like a model! LOL Well, sort of. 48, and with saggy skin, I don't know who would want me to model for them. But, anyway, don't worry much about not wanting to eat, if you're following the rest of your program. Remember, there are more appetites than just food, and pursue those appetites with gusto.
