New Tastes

[Sunflwr76 45]

I just past my 7th week post op on Friday- so therefore, I'm able to start introducing new foods and have no restrictions. I'm having difficulty finding foods I like anymore. Everything tastes different to me now. If I liked it before surgery, chances are I'm not going to like it now. Anyone else having this issue?

I was like that too. I'm only 3 weeks out. I'm not having that problem now. The only thing I'm having a problem with is coffee and I used o love coffee.

It's frustrating because I just don't know what to cook anymore :/ I end up throwing it away if I don't like it. The thought of even having it in my house makes my stomach queasy. It such a waste of money!

I don't even know what to tell you. I hope your taste buds start cooperating.

Maybe just buy really small portions of things and spend a day experiementing with various recipies.. you can make your food for the week and start making a list of the likes and dislikes. It must be hard.. it's like getting to know yourself all over again.

I'm a month post op and having very similar problems. Nothing seems to appeal to me anymore food wise; I find even thinking about what to make/eat makes me more nauseous more often then it doesn't. It gets frustrating as I know I need to eat...it makes me feel abnormal. So weird how before the surgery all I thought about was what I would be having for my next meal. I hope it gets better, I don't want to always feel sick when it's time to eat. Maybe when I can add more foods I'll feel like I have options/variety and things may be more enticing.

Really close to being 8 weeks post op and I used to LOVE eggs. Scrambled boiled fried deviled sunny side up however I could get 'em. Now the thought and taste of eggs makes me nauseous. I tried to taste some again this morning and yuk!

O M G Bernie - no coffee? That's just wrong! LOL!!

I am the same way

Funny I was a big coffee drinker prior to my surgery too... Now I have no desire to drink it. I've even tried a few times!

I know. I have the keurig machine so I've been trying different brands. Lol.

Keurig makes the best coffee I have ever tasted and I've been drinking coffee a long time. Do you prefer light, medium or dark roast? Perhaps I can make a recommendation or two. I've been drinking Decaf post-op which I was afraid would be terrible but they're actually quite good and they have a good selection.

I had this same exact problem....and I also found I loved a lot of new foods that I hadn't previously liked!! It's touch and go and a day to day thing some days I love something and the next day I can't stand it!

I like the dark. My favorite is emerils.

I am three weeks out and right after I woke up from surgery I noticed that my sense of smell got real sensitive. I can smell things from far away. If food has a smell I don't like I can't even think of eating it because I'm grossed out before tasting it. So not a lot of food is appealing at the moment.
