Nothing tastes good anymore!

[Serenityx66 0]

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.

It will get better.

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.
