Taste change after sleeve?

[May2013 11]

I keep finding that things I used to like I no longer can stand after surgery. For instance, I have loved apple juice my entire life but cannot drink it to the point of gaging since surgery. I also cannot stand the flavor of jellos. I also now LOVE gatorade. Never even liked the stuff before but now it's the best thing since sliced bread. Same experience with some gravy my mom made the other day and some Soup I made. Before I would have thought it was okay or not a big deal now it tastes soo super good. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes, and it's surprising. Lots of things don't taste good anymore. It's a little funny, because I am (or was) a great cook, if I do say so myself . People love to come to my house for parties because the food is always great and there's a ton of it. (I know everyone will be suprised by that). I noticed that when my thin friends had parties, they didn't have much or very good food...and of course, the "thick" friends thought so too. So now, I am starting to think I won't know what's good anymore, lol!! Not that I care...food has lost it's hold on me, and I don't care if people wonder why I forgot how to cook.

That happened to me for about 4-6 weeks, then things slowly came back to normal. The only thing that never came back for me was canned tuna. Used to do tuna salad on crackers, sandwiches, salads - not really my thing anymore. My doctor told me the anesthesia coming out of your system can cause that sometimes, plus the ketosis state your body is thrown into on the liquid/mushy phase.

I MISS HAVING A CHEESEBURGER! I can no longer tolerate them. I also loved scrambled eggs...not any more! I used to drink the Protein Shakes rather easily. Not anymore...they make me hurl! Oh, well......

I don't Love oreo Cookies like I once did. I still like them just not like I used to. On the other hand, I really love Juicy Juice! It goes down so well and I can drink it all day if I'm not careful!

I am two weeks out and notihng tastes that great. Foods that I used to crave now hold little interest. It's a new feeling to not care about food, a little scary, but overall I'm okay with it.
