Taste buds & cravings



Recommended Posts

Things I never thought I'd say, I now can not stand the following:

Simi, milk or dark chocolate, makes me gag

pizza

coffee

pudding

Ice cream

Nachos

chips

Brownies

I have sampled these items from my fiancé & son and I do not like them any more lol. Which of course is a good thing but never thought I'd say that.

I crave & love

Bananas

Kale

popcorn

Pickles

Tea

Shrimp

Crawfish

That's great! Last week I went to the seminar for the surgery and the doctor said "sometimes peoples taste buds change". A lady who has had the bypass spoke to our group and she said she was a big sweet eater before surgery now, cant' stand it! I can only wish!

I had complications so my experience was different than many, but I completely lost my palate which has been really tough because we are wine collectors. I also have no desire or taste for sweets, but it's less my taste buds than how it feels on my stomach.

I used to be a HUGE coffee drinker and now Im addicted to Decaf tea. Its pretty much all I drink. I used to be a HUGE sweet eater but now the only sweet that I really enjoy is the occassional chocolate covered strawberry or some skin milk with a hint of Sugar Free Chocolate added and thats only during my 'hormonal' times of the month. I cant stand white flour anything (crackers, bread, etc), its tastes like glue. I really enjoy tomatoes, fish, cottage cheese, veggies and lots of fruits.

Sweets were always my problem--My mother craved banana splits so I was cursed in the womb--since surgery I don't want sweets and if I try they taste wayyyyyyy to sweet--now I crave nuts and salt--I wonder sometimes if the salt is because I drink soooooooooo much Water. I also love celery and the fresh taste of cumcumbers. It's great!

It's funny you should bring up cravings. I was at my mom's house on Sunday and saw a bananna in the fruit bowl. And I must have had the same look on my fase as the dog in the Beggin Strips commercial. I was so exicted to see that bananna. I don't keep them in my house, so I was really surprised at how much I wanted that bananna.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
