Yes...my first two days things tasted really strange...especially coffee. After that, I've gotten back to normal. It may have been all the meds given us during the surgery??

I still am having trouble with taste, Water makes me fell sick, and anything sweet like crystal lite that I was living on before surgery is too sweet I can't stand it, so I am going to have to really really dilute it.

I have no craving for anything sweet.....YIPPEE!!!! that makes me so happy, I know the sugar is bad..bad...bad...and if it is impossible to eat that will be so much easier to just say NO!!

I am almost three months out and my tastes have definitely changed. I LOVED pizza before surgery, now, if I eat it very slowly I can eat a piece but I don' t like it. I haven't tried to eat a fast food burger but I took a bite of my husbands big mac a few days ago....gross and the kicker is that it was my favorite! I don't know if it is because of the surgery but it definitely has to do with how you have to chew your food after surgery when you have restriction.....liquified anything in my mouth is disgusting to me (I am a texture person) let alone liquid ground beef...ick. Now, don't get me wrong, chocolate, Cookies, etc still taste great.....darn it (hehehehe)

I am SOOO glad I'm not the only one. Water finally started tasting more normal last night. My surgery was Tuesday--supposed to start full liquids today but I really have no appetite for anything whatsoever. Plus I opened my big mouth yesterday and said I wasn't having any gas trouble, and now this morning I feel like I have a big lump in my throat and I'm afraid to put anything in it. Is that gas?? It's kinda scary--almost like I can feel something in there when I swallow. Is that normal??

Hello everyone. I was banded Tuesday Nov 13th. Everything tastes funny to me too. My saliva glands are in overdrive. Light stuff don't sit well with me. I am living on gravol and gas x. My gas was bad last night and today. Laying on your left side does work! Hope this resolves.

Boy am I glad to read that I am not alone with this funny taste right now. I was banded on the 12th and my hubby thinks I'm nuts when I tell him that the Water tastes really weird....

I am on Clear Liquids for this week, but I have not been hungry at all. I was on full liquids for 2 weeks prior to surgery too.

I used to love hot stuff (chilies). My DH is a big baby and can't tolerate anything with heat. Now, he can eat things that feel like they are burning the heck out of my tongue. It's so weird! I love tabasco and now it's almost out of the question. I hope it eases up a bit cus I LOVE HOT STUFF!

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
