I had mini bypass in July and no matter what I eat, it tastes disgusting and I spit it out except watermelon. Anyone else have this issue????

I know, that is a long time. Hopefully, it will be different for you.

I have days/times where I don't want to eat but I put the food in a small bowl and try to watch TV or play a game on my phone to distract me to get the food in without feeling gross. The distraction helps.

Some stuff tasted off or weird to me. Like I can't stand vanilla now at all. Your taste buds will change over the next few weeks/months. Even if it's gross, still eat it.

Look at this as a golden opportunity. Use this time to focus on pure nutrition. Get the Protein and Fiber you need, for the fewest calories. You can maximize your weight loss during this phase.

There will be a point that food starts tasting good again & cravings return. At that point it will be harder to eat completely on plan.

YES! I still get somewhat hungry when its time to eat, but, one bite of food and I'm grossed out. I finish because I have to but its so depressing!

      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?
