I am still struggling with this too. I went through a period where I thought there was NOTHING I would enjoy again

I think what I miss the most is the endorphin high I got from craving something and then eating the crap out of it... now I can think, "Oh I want to eat x.." and anticipate enjoyment only when I get it.. blah. I know I have to find other ways to get that endorphin high (exercise will get me there someday I keep hoping )

I remember some of the information I got pre-surgery was that gbs affects the hormones we have relating to satiety (ghrelin?) and such and the change may be what we experience as food blahs... I think of it kind of like what someone who is bipolar might experience as "regular" moods of non-bipolar people being too flat...

ramble ramble..
