Tastebuds...???

By Bona Fide Diva

· 427 views

I'm now 4 weeks and a day out! I never thought I would REALLY get this far; having the surgery, surviving and getting to the 4 week mark. BUT I'M HERE!

 

I'm down 21 lbs; which I can not believe. I got my TOM last week and then when she left I lost about 7 lbs!

 

I haven't been having any cravings or like when I used to "smell" things I HAD to have it...Not anymore. But I do notice that when I'm eating something if I chew it TOO much it starts to taste bad, or my body or brain is saying "you dont want anymore of that" and I spit it into a napkin. I also find that if I have something that lingers on my tongue I HAVE to scrape it off. I just don't like lingering tastes in my mouth. I thought it could be because my breath isn't in the best shape right now, but I just can't stand the "taste of food". Is it possible? OK most of you have proved it IS. IS IT POSSIBLE FOR ME?:scared0:

    It's very possible. When our bodies go into ketosis (high protein/low carb), buring fat, our breath turns sour or metallic like tasting. Food kind of loses it's appeal because honestly it just doesn't taste good. Some patients even experience a different body odor so don't be alarmed if this happens as well in the upcoming weeks.

    It goes away, I promise.

    Thank goodness Tiffy! I was worried I wouldn't like anything EVER.

    Oh, yeah, and your tastebuds will come back to normal. At least, that has been my experience. Everything actually tastes a little better now because I eat so much slower than before.
