I'm almost 4 weeks post op and basically nothing tastes good anymore! Is this common? Are other people experiencing this? I have had some dehydration but slowly getting back up to par on that. I'm really never hungry there are no cravings, almost everything makes me feel nauseous, sometimes even the thought of food makes me feel sick. I'm still taking anti-nausea medication just so I can get something down.

Isn't diminished appetite what you want?

Your tastes definitely change for a while after surgery but honestly a lot of it comes back within a few months. The important thing right now is that you focus on your Protein, liquids and Vitamins. set a timer if you have to.

Honestly, down the road you will wish you had that always full feeling so enjoy dropping weight rapidly now. That slows down as your tastes change and your ability to get hungry comes back. I started actually feeling real hunger around month 3 post op.

My tastes have definitely changed. Even simple things like plain Water or milk taste horrible to me. I drink a lot of Crystal Lite and skip milk for the most part. I have taken to using Lactaid for protien shakes, milk was making me nauseous.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
