All food tastes bad now.



Recommended Posts

I am 24 days out and I don't like the taste of anything, even things I've always loved. I don't want to eat or drink anything. I am having a bit of a problem with I think, vertigo, also making me feel motion sick, so I don't know if this is a contributing factor. Will I get over this loss of taste feeling.

You will definitely get past this. Nothing sounded or tasted good to me for a few months and watching other people eat made me feel queasy. Eventually, all that good stuff will taste great again and you will wish you could go back to now. Take advantage of this blessing in disguise while it lasts!

I find the things I loved, I can't Stand the smell of. I'm using this time to try new flavors, spices and things out of my norm. ;)

You will get past this...but think of it as an opportunity to change your relationship with food. Hang in there!

It gets better. Focus on finding things you can tolerate. Smells still sometimes get me but it does get better.

Oh, yeah. This thing will pass. And then the next "thing" will happen. And after that, the next one.

I read this morning on a health blog that "the two magic ingredients" necessary to change your life for the better are: Patience and consistency.

I liked that.

      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?
