Taste buds are changin'



Recommended Posts

...I am a diet coke, I freely admit it. However, I had not had a single drop since March 3, three days before my sleeve. I got through the withdrawal & headaches. I haven't craved soda at all. I am not thirsty since my sleeve and luckily not hungry...

Last week, I poured 2 or 4 oz of Diet Stewart's Rootbeer & allowed to melt into ice last week - tasted the same to me, but I didn't want any more of it to drink. I wasn't even craving it...just curiosity. It didn't make me sick or anything.

...tonight, I did the same with diet coke tonight...but it was horrible; it tasted like syrup..the way I remember a regular pepsi or coke would taste to me...I am in total shock! How could our taste buds change so? Again, I wasn't craving it or anything, just curious. It didn't make me sick.

...so I guess I am a Water drinker now...but I am not at 64 oz - not even half...

...also, I had a single Weight Watchers Laughing cow cheese tonight...best cheese I have ever eaten!

I will freely admit that I was a Pepsi! I would drink 3 or 4 large one's a day! Ugh!!! No wonder I was 300lbs!! I, also, can no longer drink them. They taste like carbonated Water to me. Yuck!! This has happened with other things as well. Milk and even turkey. Turkey does NOT taste right anymore. Weird, right??? Happy that Pepsi is no longer a temptation!! :D

I was a freak for Diet Dr. Pepper... Yep I would drink at least 3 a day..... I loved them.... Funny though I do not even have the slightest desire for one now. I never in a million years thought that would happen. knock on wood lol! I thought that would be my biggest struggle. My food tastes have changed as well. I used to be one of those persons that could eat the same thing for days and it would not bother me. Now forget it. I need variety.... I can not stand to repeat the same meal day after day. That is funny to me also! So yes, I agree my tastes have completely changed!

I find that it's hard to tolerate the 'preservatives' that they put in things...and that I'm craving freshly made food vs pre packaged...weird..I was not big on sodas before surgery and lately I find most things like crystal light have such a funny taste, so I've been mostly sticking to plain Water.

      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.
