Nothing really tastes good anymore...



Recommended Posts

It's the strangest thing....food doesn't really taste good any more and the thought of some meats make me gag. Like ground beef; I was a fan before sleeve but now it turns my stomach. Honestly, almost all food does. I don't actually get sick but the thought of eating is pretty unappealing.

I'm rarely hungry.

Anyone else experience this feeling? Maybe it's stomach acid?

How far along are you? The first food I really enjoyed was when I was cleared for normal foods and made a chopped salad.

I think it takes a while to get back into eating after being on all the liquids and Protein Shakes. But it is important to have food that tastes good. So start slow try things you liked before you may just have to alter the seasonings for taste?

I'm almost 2 months post op. When I first started back on solids, food tastes great. Now? Eh. Nothing "sounds" good and not much tastes good ether. Fresh fruit and veg are still my favorites but every thing else -meat, cheese, fish, cottage cheese, etc,- turns my stomach. It's just the oddest thing.

      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.
