Food Choice - Hot Vs Cold

[avanti 92]

Hi.. I'm 11 weeks post op.. and notice an odd eating habit..

Before being sleeved.. I loved eating food that was cold.. yogurt, milk, cold Soup and salads! I would cool down everything before eating

It would hardly take 15 minutes to finish my favorite yogurt serving..

Now! I have one open for over 4 hours.. (14gms of delicious Protein right there!).. but every spoon I try to get in.. feels repulsive.

I only want to eat food that is hot or at least warm (my mom would love that!)

Has this happened with anyone else????

I hope this doesn't happen to me! When I was right out of surgery, anything very cold would give me stomach contractions, but this resolved in a few days. Hot things still feel really nice, but cold is fine too. Icy things don't apeal to me though. I haven't had a popcicle or anything yet, it just doesn't sound yummy.. but very cold drinks are fine. When did this start happening to you? Is this something new or has it always been this way for you since being sleeved?

I think this started troubling me when i started trying soft foods.. 3 to 4 weeks ago..

But i recall.. i could not drink my apple juice at the hospital until it reached room temperature. so maybe it started then.

It might change back. I like things room temp-ish before, then for the longest time I craved everything cold (surprised I didnt turn into an ice pop!) after. Now I'm back to everything room temp or a little hotter.

Taste buds changed too. I dont mind turkey or asian as much, and not a huge huge fan of kielbasa/hot dogs/sausage/etc anymore. Used to love Shoprite iced tea, but its too tangy now.For a bit during complications the only thing I would drink was watered down apple juice (HATED before, and hate now). Still a carb fan though.. lol

thank you.. i hope mine changes back too.. i hate heating my food every 20/30 minutes just so that I can take a bite!

I use to love everything warm except my drinks but now after my surgery I crave everything I've cold....I to have eaten so many popsicles, ice all day ect. My taste buds have changed drastically too, stuff I loved before surgery tastes like crap now. I can also smell things from a mile away too since surgery.....ok maybe not a mile but I can smell EVERYTHING, good and bad! Just go with what works for you, we're all different!
