Nothing tastes the same...



Recommended Posts

Ever since I found out I was getting surgery food just doesnt taste the same. Its all bland! Soda is not sweet, candy is not sweet, fast food taste like grease and fat. I like it because its making me think "if this stuff tastes so bad, i wont miss it!" I wonder if its just a big mental game or what. Anyone else have this happen?

I did but I also changed my diet to have more Protein and less carbs and I think eating carbs makes you crave them.

I think thats more mental...if you know that you're on your way to help yourself than your mind is trying to help you make that transition by making you taste with your eyes just as much as your taste buds...if that makes any sense...It's really good if soda tastes bad now because that and carbonated drinks are no nos with a band :) good luck

I haven't had a change with my taste but I haven't been as hungry or snacking as much since I found out my surgery is this month. I also haven't been drinking with my meals and I have noticed It doesn't bother me as much as I thought it would. I don't know why I'm having these changes but I'm not complaining. It just shows me I CAN do this.

I am not sure if it is mental. I think it is more chemical. I was unfilled for 6 weeks and those things that I refused to eat when I was full like McD fries tasted ok again. Now, I gag at the smell again!

      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?
