Not sure if this is the place to post this....I'm six weeks (almost seven) out. On mushy's, I'm finding eating food is a challenge. I can not find one thing that is appealing. I smell it and its like oh that smells so good but when I eat it, It's like yuck!!!! Is this normal???? I hope so. I barely can eat anything on my list that is allowed. My taste for food has so changed since being sleeved. I could see this as a positive. :D Any insight as to why this has happened so that I can understand and know what to expect.

I'm only 2 weeks out from surgery but from what I've read that's not abnormal at all :) Hopefully you will have more to eat when you get on solids. For now maybe try adding in syrups or try new things, the recipes section may have more info for you too!

I too had a great difference in taste, and at 4.5 months out I still don't enjoy many of the foods I used to. I don't know if its all psychological or if there is a physical aspect of it too.

Take advantage of it and ween yourself off all the foods we should no longer eat.

Thanks Rootman.

What I can not tolerate is almost everything on my list. I did not deviate from what my doc recomended. I can not stand canned tuna in Water, baked skinless chicken or any type of mayo. Even sf pudding taste like salt to me. The one thing I can eat is soft scrambled egg with a pinch of shredded cheese. Go figure. I can eat fresh grilled fish and sometimes that doesn't taste good. So I will just have to work with it. Hopefully I will be able to eat my Protein instead of drinking my Protein. I have no desire for any type of "bad carbs" I haven't had any starches of any kind since a week before surgery. Truely I like this part. No cravings is so awesome. :D Thanks again.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
