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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
