So my first post got so many interesting answers that I couldn't wait to post again!!!! So I have a question for those of you who have been sleeved and have gotten to the point that you are eating solids again. I have heard from many that your taste for certain foods changes. Some things that you may not have liked before you may like now. I am sure this question has been asked before but... does anyone want to share their experience if this has happened? And if it has what foods did you find you liked more or liked less than before? Can't wait to hear the responses!

Your tastes are going to go thru cycles, and not just once, but many times. I try foods sometimes weekly, and some times my tastes will change that quickly (though not too often). I haven't found too many foods I didn't like that I now like (then again I don't usually try foods I didn't like before) but I've had foods I like, go onto the not so much list. Even chocolate, especially chocolate Protein Shakes have move into my not so great catagory. eggs have been off the menu but are back on now... Couldn't eat chicken for a time, but tried it again last week and my sleeve didn't have a negative reaction, and it tasted just fine. Sometimes the taste is now great, and sometimes my sleeve tells me not to eat that again (or else).

I eat fish and fish and more fish..Does not matter what kind...I try it...the only fish so far I can't tolerate is canned tuna...Sticks in my throat..

I have lost interest in so many foods...corn for one, beef, pork, even bacon is difficult for me to eat.....I tried olives the other night and spit them out...I used to love olives...green ones...as the black ones always tasted like dirt to me...

I have tried a lot of new foods that I would never have eaten before like sardines....clams....etc..

The first 3 months after surgery nothing tasted right (probably due to anesthesia according to my doc). Now, I can eat anything, I can't pinpoint anything that tastes odd/off. Granted I wish some things did! haha..

I've heard our taste buds change every 7 years, wonder if some of our surgeries fall under that 7th year! The only issue I've had since surgery that still seems to linger is my tolerance for dairy :( I was sleeved in December and just had my first small glass of milk last week. I was able to tolerate it but it's not something I can do often. My doc said alot of sleevers tend to become lactose intolerant (good at keeping me off sneaky foods like ice cream, but MILK? sad)

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
