Extra sweet taste buds



Recommended Posts

Hello all, I've noticed my taste bubs are very sensitive to sweet flavor. When I drink my shakes or Protein flavor drink example lemonade I find it too sweet so I add more Water. Anyone has the same problem? Don't get me wrong, I'm a water person, but once in a blue I like something sweet.

I really noticed that! Apart from the Protein Powder Soups here on BariatricPal Store, every other Protein powder I find sickly sweet! I have so easily made a switch to a low carb diet - and to compensate, I am loving things like salad greens! Never been partial to that before!!

I struggled to find a tolerable Protein Drink and settled on this as my everyday breakfast:

1 shot of coffee, cooled in fridge overnight

6 ice cubes

1 oz milk

20g protein worth Of least sweet possible vanilla protein powder

Blitz in NutriBullet - yum! The coffee sort of mellows out the sweet in the protein powder - this is my everyday starter meal...

Yes, as you eat less it seems like taste and smell ramp up. I can smell really well now and strong flavors can be too much. The artificial sweeteners are super sweet, so I had to Water down my shakes too.

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

      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!
