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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
