My Tastebuds Didnt Change



Recommended Posts

is it normal to not have your tastebuds change? my surgery went really well. I have no nausea or vomiting. i sometimes wonder if i really had the surgery cause everything seems to be going so well for me. lol.

I did have two bleed outs from my main port and had to have transfusions but other than that im doing fantastic. Mine is a real success story. but i do wonder about my tastebuds not changing.

Not everyone's journey is the same. If you're taste buds didn't change it's nothing to worry about :)

My sense of taste didn't change, either, that I have noticed; however, I have noticed how GOOD healthy eating tastes. I guess it's all in what you get used to. Glad all is going well for you and that you are having great success.

My taste buds changed big time !!! The things I loved before now taste awful to me. Example = lunch meats, ALL of them taste discusting to me, there must be some type of preservative in them because I am tasting something chemical. I tried different brands, different stores etc. they all taste the same. This along with other things I have no taste for anymore. I'm OK with it because I have discoverd other more healthy things I like much better ;)

Im really glad to hear that some people do not have changes in how they taste.

Ive had really horrible sinus problem most of my life. Ive lost my sense of smell- once in a while something will drift thru. but as a result most things taste bland.

Im preop and Ive tried a number of Protein supplements and settle on the one i like and have begun to stock up on protein and vit Water when on sale. ive been so worried if my taste would change postop and then not be able to tolerate their taste.

thank you for your posts.

I have to say my tastebuds have not really changed. Occasionally something will taste wonderful and because I am eating it in a smaller amount such as fish, i will savor it very much. Unfortunatly that includes carbs--no problem with small amounts of sugar. But I am choosing to avoid as I do not feel well afterwards. I can really tell they do our body harm as I feel awful even after a small amount.

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

      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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
