They were not kidding about taste changes



Recommended Posts

Found out I do not like bacon anymore.
I love tuna and fish when I used to hate it.
And steak tastes gamey.
What tastes changes have you experienced?

I'm only 3 days post op. The day before surgery I made a batch of my favorite SF lemon Jello and a batch of SF chocolate pudding. Previously those would each be 4 servings for me. I served up a tablespoon and ate some of both today and stopped after 2 tiny bites because I just was not enjoying them. Yesterday they were yummy. Today they just did not make my mouth say yummy and I didn't want to waste calories by eating something I wasn't enjoying. It seems like my taste buds are slowly changing day by day.

Most be my body's way of telling me I don't need something.

The tastes keep evolving. I was eating lots of yogurt a few weeks postop, but now I can't eat it at all, it's all just too sour (except one particular brand: Oui).

Used to love plain Water ..can't drink plane now.

Used to love yoghurt. Have only had it once since surgery.

Used to love pizza. Now I'm allowed it. I don't want it.

I used to love sweet things. Now no cravings. I've had a brain transplant it feels. I only eat meat veg cheese eggs. I used to love fruit. While its on my plan it's not appealing to me.

I used to love rice Pasta bread.. Now? No thanks.

      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.
