What Happened To My Taste Buds! Day 12 Pre-Op Diet.



Recommended Posts

So doing alright on the pre-op diet and wake up this morning and get my Protein Drink the same taste. Then I do a Unjury no flavor with Powerade zero later today and bam! Yuck. Yuck. It tastes way to sweet and has a creamy texture. This can't be, I had planned on this as my go to drink after surgery but it is horrible now. What the heck happened.

your taste buds are always changing. :) i'm sure you can think of some foods that you hated as a kid, but now like... or that you liked as a kid & now aren't so hot about... when you change your eating habits, your taste buds change to accomodate 'em. if you go without sugar or salt for a while, you'll really start noticing how much extra salt and sugar is in everything.. since you're not eating so much sugar these days, perhaps your taste buds are now more sensitive to it & that's what you're noticing. :)

I'm 26 days post-op and the same thing is happening to me! It takes everything I have to choke down my Unjury, and I LOVED it up until this week. Thankfully I'm still enjoying my nectar Protein.< /p>

Once I hit post op, all of the Protein Shakes I enjoyed previously tasted disgusting. I am still struggling to find something that can get past my taste buds for they are extremely picky! Some people have an easy go but I am not one of those!

What is the nectar Protein?

nectar is made by Syntrax it is the highest quality Protein you can get. Pure whey protein isolate, jut like unjury. Nectar is thinner and has fruitier flavors though.

For those of you who are like me and had large bins of expensive Protein powders that suddenly tasted horrible to you...I was able to stick with mine (out of sheer will power) and after a while my taste buds learned to like them again. I couldn't bear the thought of letting all that Protein Powder go to waste. I was going to make a change after I was finished, but then very helpful hubby had already ordered more! I found thinning mine out with more liquid helped.

Exactly! I think the fact that it's thinner is why I tend to favor the nectar. To me, it's less sweet than my Unjury. I usually mix up a shake and pour it over ice...I could drink it all day.

      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.
