Please tell me that I am not alone

I was sleeved on April 6th - so about 6 weeks ago.  Since then, I have derived absolutely no pleasure from food.  Shakes make me gag.  Even protein (turkey or chicken) makes me a bit nauseous.  I am scared because I have no desire to eat and getting my protein in is a complete chore.  I am hoping that this will pass at some point.  I am hoping that some of you have experienced this and can now happily report that all is well.  I am tired all the time.  I have little motivation and just want to rest (or go to the bathroom).  Please tell me that I am not alone.

I'm sorry you are having such a hard time.

I do have to remind myself to eat.  Are you getting your vitamins in?  Have you called your surgeon?  Sometimes if I have no motivation or am tired I will make myself do something active (nothing big, maybe just weed a small part of the garden for 15 minutes) and that will make me feel a little better or I will get into doing it and it will turn into more activity.

I would definitely call your surgeon and/or NUT though.

Do you enjoy food?  I get no pleasure from it anymore.  Even the smell of food makes me gag. 

The smell doesn't make me gag but I don't enjoy some smells the way I used to.  I know it's not the same and I'm sorry I can't help with that. 

i stayed for like 3 months cant take food in all means or protein shakes or anything and i was so weak and tired and always faint it is gonna take a little time

Thank you Christine for giving me hope that things will change.  I cannot even enjoy the weightloss (from a size 24 to 18) because I am so weak and always feel yuk.  Thank you.

dont panic thats normal just take ur vitamins and try as much as you can with ur proteins little by little dont force yourself:) good luck dear dont hesitate to ask we are always here

I think part of that is the healing process. I basically had that. my surgeon told me to continue taking my anti-nausea/ spasm med to help with this.  Your tummy is healing & doesn't want anything in there. I had quite a few protein shakes I liked before surgery that I couldn't keep down, couldn't stand the taste anymore or even look at w/o feeling nauseous. I finally found Premier Protein RTD shakes at Costco & I stick with them now.

I will say I didn't feel this way for as long as you have though. I would agree that you should probably call your surgeon & see what they suggest for you.

Thanks for taking the time to share your experience with me.
