Can't believe I am saying this!!.....

I HAVE NO INTEREST IN FOOD, WHATSOEVER... NOTHING SOUNDS GOOD...NOTHING TASTES GOOD...EVEN PLAIN WATER HAS A GROSS, METALLIC TASTE! HELP!

I am forcing myself to eat and drink. Nothing "hits the spot." Not even the bad stuff I can't eat sounds good. NOTHING. Never in my life did I think these words would come out of my mouth, but, I DONT WANT TO EAT!
The thing is, after RNY, you have to eat and get lots of protein or the weight will not come off as well and your health will go dramatically downhill. So the forcefeeding begins...

So far protein shakes are not working for me. I have also become Lactose Intolerant. So milk, yogurt and cottage cheese are out. BUT other cheeses are ok. Protein sits heavy in my pouch and gives me a pouch-ache. No one likes the pouchie grouchies! I have been vomiting a lot from eating too quickly, once I really paid attention and committed to forcefeeding myself slowly...no vomiting. Amazing how much better it is when you FOLLOW the rules!! Be kind to the pouch!

I am hoping this is something that will go away with time and further healing. I will be a month out Tuesday and have an appointment with my surgeon's PA next week. I will definitely be bringing this up to her.I am also considering going on my own for another visit to the Registered Dietician, Arun. He is very informative. At the post op class last week I certainly (re)learned a lot! My husband bought a gastric bypass recipe 2 yrs ago after his surgery and I am looking at it as soon as I log off. Maybe some new foods will help. I DO NOT regret my RNY one bit. I have lost 33 lbs and that is terrific. There are so many pros to it that they way way outdo the cons. I'll keep ya'll posted...take care of yourselves!
