Sounds pretty normal to me. Just keep getting your Protein in. You will begin to feel less restriction over time and be able to eat more. If you start getting bored of the protein options you listed, I am sure you can get a TON of suggestions for other high protein foods to eat at this stage.

I think it is pretty normal. food tasted nasty to me for about six months. I even had to brush my teeth and use mouthwash every time I ate something or drank a Protein Drink just to get the "food" taste out of my mouth.

I regained my taste for food, not sure if it is a good thing or bad thing. LOL

Good luck to you!

Yup. I am 2.5 years out and at times and am physically very hungry and NOTHING is appealing. I often choose not to eat at all when this happens. Weird coming from a former fatty who used to think EVERYTHING sounded delish.

I didn't necessarily have my taste buds change, but I do get tired of all the sweet stuff like the Protein bars and shakes. Looks like you might need some variety. Here are some suggestions I can think of from my aresnal:

Tortilla Soup w/ chicken and avocado

Deli Turkey meat

Pimento cheese (if you aren't from the South, you may not know what that is :D )

sugar free Fat Free pudding with whey isolate Protein powder mixed in

Add a little PB2 to your shakes

Laughing Cow cheese wedge

Hummus

Hormel Turkey Chili or homemade chili

Mini Egg "Quiches"

Cheddar Cheese Stick or String Cheese

Try some other things. Go exploring in your grocery store this weekend and see what else you can find.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
