Post op taste or food changes?



Recommended Posts

I'm pre op and still trying to decide which surgery to have. 90% leaning toward the sleeve. I'm curious to know if one surgery or the other changes your food preferences?

I can honestly say that my tastes for food and drinks (including water) have not changed post surgery. My surgery date was July 31. I have not eaten anything that has disagreed with me. Totally surprised by this since so many posters have had problems. I am very greatful.

I have not had any changes in my food or drink preferences. I wish I had lost the desire for some foods...no such luck! :D

I have definitely lost some taste for food. No longer like eggs, chicken is a struggle and beef is a struggle. I don't crave sweets at all nor chips or salty things. Water I have to have lemon or lime in it. Plain I do not like. It has not been a bad thing. I've lost 42 lbs so far and I was sleeved a month ago on Aug 20th!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
