Did your taste buds change?

[LSF 264]

I see on the forums for first time Sleevers how their taste buds changed. What about you all that had revisions? Mine don't seem to have changed

The only thing that seemed to change for me is I used to hate green beans...now I love them post surgery. I suppose that's a good thing

Since having the revision i crave extremely spicy food! But, and its a big BUT i soon developed GERD once i was onto normal foods and i cannot touch spicy stuff in any way .. Im a little sad about it but i can live with it as it is *shrug*

Sweet tooth isn't like it was. I don't crave carbs too much anymore.

My tastes really changed but it was temporary. I went through a phase where eating was work, everything tasted wrong. .kinda metallic. I could not drink plain Water and switched to herbal tea. It was all temporary and I think helped me get over food.< /p>

As of now- 3 weeks post op I can say my taste buds have not changed. Maybe they changed with my band surgery and stayed with me for sleeve surgery. I'm eating everything I did during the soft foods/mushy phase with the band and still like everything so far

I used to drink 2-3 cups of coffee a day. Now, it's all I can do to drink one cup. Kinda ticks me off!!!

My taste buds definitely changed following band surgery. Use a lot less salt. And cannot tolerate anything spicy. Now that I have the sleeve, i am still the same.

I tried something I never had before. food hasn't been too appealing lately. At my work cafeteria yesterday, I took some Tunafish from the salad bar but I'm getting sick of tuna. Someone made a comment that there was bacon on the salad bar- I started thinking about it and the next thing I knew, I was adding the cut up cooked bacon in the cup with my tuna and ate it. It was delicious!! Never had those 2 foods together before

Its confirmed- my tastebuds have not changed!! It must be more common with people that only have the sleeve, not revision

My taste buds have changed and my food desires. I no longer want butter, bread, cake, hot dogs, bacon or sausage. The meats and butter put a slimed fat in the roof of my mouth that's just yucky. The breads and cakes are heavy and not desirable. I still enjoy a small piece of extra dark chocolate from time to time. Pasta is too sticky. Love my roasted veggies and cottage cheese.

I'm four months out and thrilled with lapband to sleeve. I had the band for 7 years and gained weight, diabetes and 2 partial knees during that time. I am now off all meds and no longer have high cholesterol, diabetes, or high blood pressure.

I do not compare my weight loss to others as we are all different. I am thankful for the opportunity to be healthy.

I am down three sizes and can do yoga, go walking and exercise on the wii. I plan on walking trails, canoe day trips and zip lining this summer. Life's good!

I have noticed - a couple of weeks ago I ate something ( not healthy) because I was craving it since my surgery. Once I ate it, I have not craved it since. That happened a couple of times with 2 different foods, ate it and no longer cared for it after. I would be Syked if I never care to eat it again but who knows

I can't tolerate salt. I taste it all the time, even if I don't use it!
