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.

      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?
