Sooo this may sound crazy but who cares. The greatest thing that has ever happened to me has to be that my taste buds changed dramatically post op. Who would have thought that i would be this damn happy about it but i am.

All the foods that i used to love, even if i can eat them now, i don't enjoy it the same way. I tried to eat an egg and turkey sausage this morning for Breakfast. I was so over it. I hope this is permanent, because that seems to be the best way for me to keep the weight off.

It's as if i could honestly care less about food. Thank god.

I am hoping this happens to me, too. It would be a big help in the long run.

for some odd reason, my sense of smell and taste are way overly sensitive. I can barely eat sugar free things (like a popsicle) because it is too strong.

It doesn't last, unfortunately. But take advantage of the time it does to make healthier habits for when the time comes that your appetite returns and restriction is less.

Although permanent, the effects of WLS are not. Too many don't understand this.

It will. You won't have an appetite. Your taste will change and you will become sensitive to smell and food texture.

The food texture thing is so true. I wish it wasn't but for me it is.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
