Food Intolerances/taste Differences

I had no problems eating cream of wheat other than its disgusting. Lol. But other than not liking it. I had no physical side effects

I was hoping I'd start loving sugar free Jello, crystal light, etc. Ugh. Nope. I still hate them. Looking for alternatives.

They told me that some things I liked pre-op I might not like post-op. Interesting since they don't have any idea why taste changes for some people. There apparently is no direct connection between RNY and your sense of taste. I haven't had any problems with my taste changing but I really have a hard time with most kinds of bread, tortillas, etc. They seem to hit my pouch as a big lump and just kind of sit there. White or wheat or whole grain breads - all the same. Not exactly what I would call painful but more "uncomfortable". I'm almost 29 weeks post-op and still have the same issue. Flat bread doesn't seem to be so much of a problem for whatever reason. I don't need the carbs anyway!

Did ok with cream of wheat. Craving something a little salty so I justed thinned it with skim milk and a shot of spray butter. I can no longer stand crystal lite. The sweetener tastes bitter to me now. Just a weird tasteI'm on day 6 and I can't wait to bite into something crunchy.

I can relate to the crunchy cravings. When you get to the point that you can eat solid food again, Kashi Pita Crisps are highly recommended! Lots of flavors and you can get them on Amazon. Will satisfy your crunchy cravings and they're quite low calorie!!
