Recommended Posts

So technically I still have 6 hours until I'm cleared for normal solid foods. But I kinda figured that 6 hours really wasn't going to make or break me.

I had to go to the grocery store because apparently I suddenly have a pre-teen boy in the house with a hollow leg (all 72lbs of him ate 1/2 a loaf of bread, 4 hot dogs, and the last of the Peanut Butter since he got home from school ohmy.gif and I'm going to have TWO teen boys at the same time!!!!)

Anyway so I'm at the store, and I impulse purchased a 33cent lunch box bag of sour cream and chive potato chips. Don't ask me why...it was an impulsetongue.gif. I LOVE sour cream and chive chips...especially if they are dipped in ketchup MMmmMMrolleyes.gif So I got to the car opened the bag and ate the first one. Meh it was okay mellow.gif ate the 2nd, hmmm these aren't as tasty as I rememberdry.gif 3rd nope not getting any better...4th and 5th were just to make sure unsure.gif And then I felt it.....I felt FULL. After 5 chips...and not huge ones either, I was full.

laugh.gif So....my tastes really did change. And 5 chips are all I need/want. I won't be purchasing them again, totally not worth my $$cool.gif

That is too funny. Who in the world would have guessed that 5 chips would make us full? I mean, before surgery, that lunch box bag of chips would be gone in like 12 seconds.

What a trip this sleeve is! I love it!!!biggrin.gif

Your post made me laugh! I can't wait to experience what you talked about.

My only question is...do you really dip those chips in ketchup? ?? I never heard of that!:lol:

I'm about 6 months out and STILL have these altered tastes. Things I used to love I now can't stand, and things I never really liked I now do, thankfully they are mostly things that are good for me. Some things I like now are just variants of previous tastes, I used to love milk chocolate, a Hershey bar with almonds was the best pre-op, I tasted a Hersheys kiss a while back and thought it was nasty sweet. However I now like DARK chocolate which I used to hate, I love the bitter sweet taste now.

I'm actually kind of glad my sweet taster hasn't changed...I kind of need it as a cake maker/decorator laugh.gif

I love plain Lays chips, I have not bought chips or really any junk food since my surgery 7 months ago. Those 5 chips may have been filling now but in a few months they won't be. I do know what you mean I have a 14 year old boy, and he can eat so much. I can't believe he stays so thin, but he's not a junk eater. We'll have to get a second job just to feed these teens. If my kids want a treat they can get a single serving but they know I have a no junk food rule in the house.

LOL! I like this post!!! My total weakness is potato chips, ,, I would eat a 1/2 bag a night.. rarely ever did I go without chips everday. I tried one potato chip over memorial day weekend and all I could taste was grease... I guess I have been away from fried foods/greasy foods for so long, I could not taste the chip, all I could taste was grease... So I was happy with that and dont care to try another one any time soon!!!

Have a good day on your "normal food" day!!!

I noticed that my tastes changed with yogurt. I use to love love love me some yogurt. When I had to eat it on my full liquid stage, I HATED the taste of most of them! I was so upset!

I haven't been able to eat much to see what else I don't like, less than a month out, I willl have to see what the future holds!

      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.
