So something I was thinking about - all the comments I’ve seen about people’s tastes changing. So what did you enjoy before surgery that doesn’t taste good anymore? Go!

I used to LOVE eggs. I used to say the world's perfect food was the Egg McMuffin. I'll still nibble on half of one every so often when I'm on the run....but the magic is gone.

Eggs and ham hold no magic for me anymore.

Used to love a good pork chop. Not feeling the love these days.

On the other hand...

I hated oatmeal and avacado before...and love both of these things now.

I used to HATE salmon...and now I can't get enough of it.

Still love a nice steak salad.

Still love chicken breast done right with good seasoning and veggies.

Even thinking about chicken broth by itself...kinda makes me gag these days. Same reaction to jello....ate way too much of these and just can't take them anymore.

Used to love fried stuff...and sometimes I'll crave it....but a couple of nibbles and I'm done. Bleh.

Used to love Turkey with stuffing and gravy. Stuffing is kinda gross to me now...will order carrots instead. Love carrots now, was luke warm on them before.

This one's weird....salt. I used to really crave salt. Now, I'm super sensitive to it and am really offput by too much. (this is the problem with stuffing, I think, too salty)

Weird stuff.. who knows?

My taste buds have completely changed. I thing tastes the same and nothing tastes satisfying. Even though I am on the soft food stages, this stage consists mainly of fish, while I loved fish pre-op, I just can’t handle anymore fish or cheese! I am eating less than 2 ounces of food a day but it doesn’t even bother me

So this is another one of those "doesn't happen to everyone" things. I haven't really noticed any changes in my tastes, pretty much at all.

My tastebuds are exactly the same. The good tasty food I like remain the good tasty food I still like but prob will prob make me sick to death. When I hear people talking about their tastebuds I feel like they are lying 🤥 or exaggerating but just because it didn’t happen to logically I know that doesn’t mean it can’t happen to others. I also never experienced nausea or gas so I’m the exception I guess.

      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?
