I had to laugh at the end of your post. I started investigating discussions like this one because I need advice on what to eat! I've had changes in taste as well as appetite. I don't cook and am unlikely to start now at 76. I'm now eating things like high protein "shakes", a lot of dairy like yogurt and kefir, Chinese take-out, things I can microwave. I've decided to stop worrying and to focus on protein and hydration. It would be great to not be eating ultra-processed food, but for me now that's not in the cards. I actually had a consult with a nutritionist for advice. But didn't learn anything useful. Protein, fiber and water to help with GI symptoms. Some supplements including B12 and magnesium citrate. Duh!

I suggested to my doctor that there should be support groups for us: in-person ones led by experts. A nutritionist one week, bariatric medicine another week, long-term GLP-1 users to share what they went through.

Oh, another thing I could have used advice for was when to invest in new clothes. I replaced a bunch of basics like jeans and underwear a couple of months ago but those items are already too big. So many changes to deal with!
