    Food doesn’t taste right

    I am 13 months post revision band to bypass and lately nothing seems to taste right. Meat in particular tastes weird. I don’t have an issue eating it, it doesn’t get stuck or make me sick but it tastes and often smells weird. For example the lamb mince we ate tonight tasted very gamey. I used to love pork and would often order it when we went out but the last couple of times that hasn’t tasted right either! At this rate I am going to end up vegetarian which could be a problem as there are a heap of veggies I hate ( the bitter ones) , don’t really like eggs ( I can do the yolks so long as they are runny) and only eat small quantities of cheese. On top of that if I try to turn my hubby veggie he will rebel! I can’t live on yogurt nuts and seeds! Has anyone else been through this and how did you deal with it?

    Food doesn’t taste right

    my sense of taste got a lot more intense after surgery (it didn't change - as in there weren't things I liked before and didn't after - or vice versa - but everything just tasted more intense). I don't notice it anymore. Not sure if it eventually stopped or if I just got used to it.

    I admire dark chocolate, I respect it, I would vote for it for President of the Chocolate Guild, I would trust it to housesit for me, but I actually like milk chocolate, especially in conjunction with almonds.

    3 month supervised diet

    mine had me eating 2300 calories, logging my food intake, exercising at least 4-5 times a week, weaning myself off of caffeine, and gradually increasing my protein and decreasing my carbs. In essence, making a gradual transition to what life would be like post-op. But the above poster is right - plans can vary between clinics and dietitians.

    Hi I am having my gastric bypass on March 26. Had a lapband almost 11 years ago and had to have it removed. On the 3rd have a two hour class, meet with the doctor and dietitian. I am getting excited!Marthalynn

    Pre workout post surgery?

    Actually its not all about reps. Low reps and high weight still breaks the muscles down and gives them the need to rebuilt just as much as low weight high reps. I did a program before surgery that was 1x a week, low reps high weight and I increased all of my maxes by quite a bit in a short time frame. That said - anything is better than nothing!

    Pre workout post surgery?

    Thanks for all the input! Don’t worry I know to take it slow. I’m advised not to lift more than 20lbs.

    In baseball terms, you are a "dying quail". An unexpected gift of an opportunity to "score". A bariatric patient who is ready to fall into their lap and have surgery without a 3-6month "sales time line" to wait for the $$$. Any doc can fit another surgery into their schedule for the month, especially if they are a private insurance situation where they actually get paid. So that makes you "HIGHLY DATEABLE". Most surgeons would fall all over themselves at the opportunity you present to them. So be sure you present and explain it that way to the receptionist/nurse/office manager/bariatric coordinator--whomever you have to jack with to get what you want at the new office! But the important thing to know is that time is valuable and the clock is ticking. I'd personally go pick up your records and take them with you in hands. That way no one can say they got lost.
