Food Tastes Changed

[wikdwich 13]

I've heard lots of people say that after surgery, their tastes changed. Sometimes a food they liked before, they don't like anymore or vice versa. Has anyone ever heard WHY tastes change? I know mine certainly have, I'm just not sure why.

probably because u cant tolerate it well like pre op?

I don't think so. For example, Decaf tea with Splenda. I drank that before and liked it. Now it just tastes really, really bitter.

I'm 6 weeks post op and find that things taste different also

Hmmmm. So far have not found that anything tastes different. It still tastes the same to me. I wish cakes, Cookies, candy, chocolate and chips tasted disgusting to me, but no such luck!!!!!

SAME HERE, ITS BECAUSE OF THE HORMONS THAT USED TO BE PRODUCED IN YOUR TUMMY THAT IS NO LONGER THERE. ITS A STRUGGLE FOR ME AS WELL BECAUSE THERE DOESNT SEEM TO BE MUCH I LIKE THESE DAYS AT ALL/

My tastes have changed significantly. I'm 14 months post op. I love spicier and spicier food, hot sauce, etc. A total reversal. Wierd.

I am two months out. It is true. Your taste changes. First month is bad. Second month gets better. This 8th week is being great. A was 247 pounds and now I am 198 pounds. I can eat almost any thing. But I don't like food containing fat like pizza, I can't eat chesse any more. It's easier now to eat meat. But i am really happy with the sleeve. I really recomend it. ( pardon my English. I am from Mexico. )
