Ever since I got sleeved food has tasted so differently, is it just me? meat especially tastes like the live animal and when I cook it it smells so bad. No one else smells it or tastes what I taste I have to literally choke down all my Protein because it’s so gross. It’s almost not worth eating.. anyone else?

I had a similar issue for a few weeks after surgery. It waned over time and now only a few things bother me. My worst is Pam butter spray. Makes me green.:65_mask:

Oh yeah. Been there! I remember trying to drink chicken broth that I loved before surgery and it just tasted like chicken armpit, or chicken butt or something...made me gag.

My preferences have taken a serious swing for the better in the past six months.

It’s been two months, so I’m hoping it starts going away soon!

Trade out for non-meat Proteins and see if that helps. Only thing that really gets me is artificial flavorings really, but the odd changes right out of surgery have seemed to mostly go away at this point (a little over 2 months since surgery)

      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.
