Mind Set Change Or Dr Did Something With Taste Buds...lol



Recommended Posts

ok, so yesterday I was 4 weeks post op and I recently had pizza, now pizza was ONE of my favs to eat before my band and believe you me, I could put away some pizza but that day eating with my mom I only ate 1 1/2 pc and not all of the crust and it just didn't taste as good as I wanted it to. Probably will not eat it for a while as I don't want the fat and calories. I think my doctor changed my taste buds...lol, all I've been eating is healthy foods, which is good, don't get me wrong but the thought of going back to eating like I was, well, is disgusting now. Hope this mind set stays!

Theres several foods which strangely disgust me now much as i want to like them. And weirdest of all, they tasted GREAT while i was unfilled for. Couple of months, and instantly became revolting again when i had restriction back. pizza, bread, and sort of melting, cooked cheese, chinese food ugh. Even the smell makes m gag.

I think once you're past the withdrawals and have been eating healthy for awhile, your tastes do change. I know mine have. I mean, if someone told me 6 months ago I'd be craving salads this summer I'd have laughed at them. But, it's true, I am on a total salad kick and could eat it every single day easily.

Same with cucumbers. I don't want potato chips, I want sliced cucumber with a little sprinkle of salt.

It's very odd but I'm definitely not complaining :)

That is one of the nice side effect of getting banded :) It sure helps with some of the head hunger.

Just go with it ............

      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.
