Tastes Much More Sensitive



Recommended Posts

Has anyone else noticed an increase in your taste sense? I used to like equal and artificial sweetners. I can't stand them anymore. They are so disgusting and thats all I can taste when I get 'diet food'. So I just started getting regular food since I'm eating so much less of it....and the fact that I'll actually eat the regular food instead of just let it sit there in the fridge until I throw it out. (i.e. greek yogurt, juice, etc).

I have noticed it. I used to enjoy the bitter taste of nutratsweet - now I cannot stand it.

YES ... i still have this problem 6 months out ... nothing taste the same anymore... I just look at it this way- food is Fuel for my body and so I eat what I need to keep it running properly. Don't get me wrong I do treat myself every now and then to foods that really taste good- I like to think of this as Premuim Fuel and I don't do it all the time just because Premuim usually comes at a higher price ;) JUST LIKE GAS ... The higher priced Premuim usually equal to weight gain or more time at the gym... either way- I HATE THE COST... #STICKING2REG(most day LOL!!! :) )

My tastes changed drastically. Things I used to love no longer appeal to me, while things I wouldn't have touched before, I actually enjoy now. That is a good thing though, because the things I loved pre-sleeve were unhealthy and the things I now love post-sleeve are healthy.

I'm really sensitive to sweetness now. EVERYTHING that has sugar in it tastes sooo sweet. Sleevie doesn't like sugars either. That is working well for me though. Sugar was my slider, now I can't tolerate it and it tastes differant.

My sense of taste is very heightened now. I don't find this to be a problem though because everything tastes so much better. I too am using regular food and 2% dairy. When I drink juice it's off my own trees and watered down 50% or more. Regular juices ARE WAY TOO SWEET! I don't want any high fructose corn Syrup or Aspartame for that matter. Processed foods are way too salty. My sleeve likes fresh food.

Add me to the list of people with a dramatic change in their taste buds. Everything tastes different to me now. For instance, sometimes things that taste normal to everyone else will taste spoiled to me.

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
