Nothing tastes good!

I am 6 weeks post op and NOTHING tastes good. Water, crystal light, g2, apple juice, Protein and Mushie food all repulse me. Is this normal? Any suggestions?

This is normal for a lot of us. I know you want something to taste good but for now just be happy that this is a tool for maximum weight loss. Eat your little bit of required correct food & then remember how much weight loss this must be leading to. After awhile I became more interested in the food as it tasted better. Some of my favorite foods still are just "uh, who cares, not worth it anymore" which is a blessing. I was nauseous 4-5 months out so that sucked too, but it kept my eating small & my weight loss big.

Being 6 weeks out a lot of things still do not taste good to me. I heard this could happen post-op but I don't understand the reasoning behind it. It is frustrating but then again I never crave anything and I never feel the need to eat a ton of food. When things don't taste the same it becomes a way to push away from my plate. I believe that this does get better as time passes though.

Thanks to both of you! It's just very frustrating because I know I have to get some nutrition and food or drinking is the last thing on my mind.. And when I do eat / drink I feel like a little kid being force fees Brussel sprouts. Lol
