Do You Like The Taste Of Food More Or Less Since Your Surgery?



Recommended Posts

I have found now that I have to slow down when I am eating I actually have the time to see if I like the food. I can taste it and feel it in ways I did not before. I really love good food now which was never really the case. A nice cup of coffee is heaven now and fruit...so very different.

I hardly eat fruit these days. A lot of it is too slimy and it slips past without me being able to chew it properly, a pity because good fresh fruit (when you can get it) is wonderful

A nice cup of coffee is lovely, I say as I drink my 1st cup of the day! However, I tolerate most fruit by drinking a fruit smoothy in the morning for Breakfast. Love fresh fruit, and here in Florida, we get it early in the year. My strawberry smoothies are to die for!

my tastes haven't changed but i've noticed i'm more sensitive to smells... I have a hard time with very powerful smells like garlic, onions, etc.. I love eating them but I can get put off now by strong food smells which never happened before surgery.. Right now I've not gotten in any fruit, been sticking with Protein and veggies.. I eat only 3 meals a day and can't seem to get my fruit in.. See the dietitican soon so hopefully she will give me some ideas how to get it in..

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
