Smell and Taste? Did yours change?



Recommended Posts

Yeah what I want changes. Also what I crave switched from breads to veggies, chicken, fruit. Love it

At first for maybe 6 months everything was just too sweet. Now at 4 1/2 years, that is not a problem at all. At first I hated the texture of salad (my love now), apple peals tasted like wood shavings to me, not a problem now.

Some things are way too sweet for me that I used to enjoy before. I also have a higher tolerance for spicy foods now. My sense of smell has always been spectacularly good to the point of being uncomfortable, and that hasn't changed lol

Oh - I would love it if I developed a taste for fish post op. I've tried to eat fish for years but can't get past the smell! It's on my list to try when the time is right.

I think cheesecake is the grossest thing in the world now, I can't stand the taste. I used to love it. I hated fish now I crave it. I used to love hot food and can't take it anymore. I can't drink hot coffee but cold coffee is great. I don't like steak too much anymore. I despise Burger King and that used to be my go to.

I like certain fish now. I love crab Rangoon. I love tilapia, flounder, bluefish... They are not very fishy

I can't get enough raw salmon now. I already liked it before, now it's an obsession. I guess it works for me positively, there's approx. 40g of Protein in 2 Oz of it

I passed through the bakery section at the grocery store the other day, and the smell made me gag. I was at a different store today and walked through the bakery area there, and I didn't smell anything at all. I have a huge weakness for donuts and usually get seduced by the aromas in the store, but at least for now, that temptation is gone!

I've always had a sweet toot but since being sleeved I'm more into savoury things.

Most types, it will vary protein-wise but never less than 35grams. Sockeye I believe it is, is the really protein-laden one.

      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.
