How many of you had a change in taste after you were sleeved. I have not been sleeved yet, hoping for April of 2013. But I have been trying out different Protein Shakes and mix's. I just had a muscle milk vanilla cream that tastes pretty good. I'd like to start buying little bits here and there.

Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks Teri

Your taste buds do change. Things I loved pre-sleeve I hated afterwards. Don't follow me because in the name of being prepared, I spent hundreds of dollars on Proteins for after surgery. Most went in the trash cause they were too thick or sickeningly sweet for me.

Congrats on your upcoming surgery next year. Good for you getting prepared!

My tastes changed too. The Protein Shakes I liked before surgery went in the trash. Just thinking of them make me want to gag. I never thought I would say this but chocolate doesn't interest me any more. And that is huge for me.

9 days out--no serious taste change --yet. when you purchase stuff for sampling, many of the online bariatric sites offer the purchase of single servings so you do not have to spend on full size. GNC will accept returns --even if opened.

I was really surprised after surgery because I thought my tastes would change drastically- but in my experience I have not had issues with this. I'm 6 weeks out and enjoy the same foods I did pre sleeve.

That was a great question Teri because that's me too...now that I've finally decided to be sleeved, I wanna be totally prepared! But I have heard this with many..that ones they liked before and stocked up on got tossed. Hmmm...Maybe we should just buy one of every single flavor and brand out there?! haha

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
