I am sitting here with a mug of Knox chicken bullion and it's got to be the best thing I ever tasted in my whole life. I also had an ecstatic bliss experience over iced apple juice and cherry sugar free Jello. Even Water tastes amazing. Am I losing it?

Nope I'm the same way. Certain things would even make my mouth Water. Now that I'm on regular foods, the hotter the better. I can live off of hot wings and before I couldn't I would get heartburn so dang bad

Everyone laughed when I got excited about moving from all shakes to 'mushies'. Normal people aren't excited to eat something called mushie......well then call me abnormal cause I was tickled pink!!!!!

Wow, my experience has been just the opposite, almost everything tastes off or even BAD even after 4 months. I can't stand even old favorites and have to force myself to eat some days. Sweets especially taste bad to me.

The thought of food makes me apprehensive and repulsed. Nothing tastes good to me. I used to be the quintessential "live to eat" person. Now, I truly know what it means to eat to live.

I'm finding the same thing to be true, sorta. The chicken broth and apple juice from the hospital was awesome, and I generally have never liked either. On the flight home however, my wife bought me a bottle of Fuji Water and I couldn't drink it because it was too "minerally". I preferred a bottle of plain old purified drinking water.

I'm also finding temp is having a huge impact on what I can drink (since I'm only on clears I know nothing else). For example, cold and hot liquids seem to taste much better than a room temp bottle of water.

Yeah there was something about that apple juice, man. It's like this new discovery for me. Apple juice on the plane, two glasses, and then there was apple juice in the house when I got home. Hey! Apple juice! Yay! And it's best with lots of ice. It's completely weird.

Just tried my first swallow of Isopure blue raspberry zero carb whatsis. That stuff is probably repackaged antifreeze. I hadn't had any Protein in five days though. My brother said I was on it like a steak.

Yesssss! I had broccoli cheddar Soup from Panera after shakes for a week and it was like an orgasm in my mouth. I can't even imagine how much better things will be when I get to soft foods.

      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.
