Starting to worry...

[acbayliss 33]

I am two months post op. At the beginning, I expected to have changes with my taste buds. As time goes on, the less I like the taste of anything. I am forcing myself to try and eat something for lunch and dinner. Nothing tastes good. I know this makes it easier to lose weight, but I am worried about my health. I have recently noticed that I am having extreme dizzy spells. Has anyone else had this problem with food? With time will food start to taste decent?

Thanks for your help!

Yes your tastes will evolve, I personally struggled with a sort of fear of different foods. For instance, I thought anything sharp was scary, that they would hurt my new tiny tummy, so no crisp or crunchy things, I stayed on the softer foods til boredom set in, finally I got over that fear and I tried new foods. I now love my apple and whole grain flat breads. I too found I didn't like the flavor of many foods I liked before, but after waiting awhile I found trying them again worked. I think this is due to the change in our digestive flora and hormones, so once they settle into the norm your tastes will change again. Hang in there, at 2 months it is too early to convince yourself this is the new forever...

Dizzy spells could be reactive hypoglycemia ...if you eat heavy on the carbs. As the previous poster mentioned start exploring new foods. This is the time to be devoting a whole new way of eating. You may be grieving and comparing foods to old processed, high fat, and or sugar choices and bottom line newer and healthier foods aren't initially glamorous at first. Use spices etc...and over time you will see a difference. Even though I am newly postoperative I lost 130 pounds and kept it off until a injury. I learned to savor foods I never thought I would like.
