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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
