Food not tasting good

karritous · September 18, 2013

I feel that I cannot for many many months have food that tastes good or decent and it's driving me nuts. I'm 10 wks out lost 35 lbs down to 195.

My nutritionist and I met last wk and this is the newest diet plan:

3/4 cup plan oatmeal rolled oats and berries

snack : 1/2 banana, 1tbs sunflower seeds

Lunch: 1oz Protein (so chicken) and veggies to equal total of 3/4 cup

Snack: light soy + coffee

Dinner: same as lunch

Snack: shake + 1scoop unflavored Protein powder

So that equals 700 calories.

I am starting to wish I could go back to just shakes and puréed pork

I know having this surgery I'm not expecting to eat like pizza, but there has to be something in the middle.

If you have any suggestions that would be great,

Thanks!!

I feel like most food just didn't taste that good to me no matter what it was until I was at least 3 months out. Also, I got full so quickly and was uncomfortable, and I felt the same way as you--often wanted to go back to liquids. But with te, my taste buds improved and I was able to eat a little more/different food and enjoy it. The trick with that is as it gets easier and more enjoyable to eat, you have to be careful not to go overboard. It will get better--I remember feeling just like you did around that same time. I'm 4.5 months postoperative now, 59 down.
