Food just doesn't taste good



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on Dec 19th and a lot of foods just don't taste good to me anymore. Has anyone else experienced this? Is it temporary?

Oh how I wish I was one of the lucky ones. For me, no, this was not the case. So I have to be careful of my choices on a day to day basis.

I was like that with most foods at first, but for for me I think it was mental. My brain was figuring out its new relationship with food. Now I'm only 5 months out and a lot of foods that at first made my stomach turn are good. Unfortunately I still can't eat spicy food, which kind stinks cause that's my favorite but oh well I figure its a good thing I doesn't settle we'll in my stomach cause now I don't have to worry about being cautious not to eat to much. Gotta look on the positive side. Oh ya I also can't do a lot of dairy foods anymore.

Ditto! The only difference for me is I can't eat as much....but I can eat anything I've tried & it still tastes yummy! Soo, I too must be careful! Sooo, my question is: those of us with "sleeves of steel" are we Lucky....or Unlucky?? :-/

I go thru weeks where I have dont have a taste for anything at all and some weeks where I will just eat the same thing over and over because I actually like that one for the time being. There are foods that I have no desire for anymore like bread, crackers, anything white flour. I dont have sugar cravings anymore either. When I get 'hormonal' Ill have a couple of figs, some skim milk with Sugar Free Chocolate Syrup in it for a treat or teaspoon of Peanut Butter. But thats only that time of the month, other than that time, I dont really crave sweets anymore.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
