shellyv0120 got a reaction from shelleee7399 in After Surgery Taste Issues
Has anyone had any issues with taste after surgery? I was sleeved on 7/11 and can't seem to tolerate Protein Drinks, Protein powders, artificial sweeteners, dairy. Everything tastes so sweet or milk tastes so sour. I've ordered a Protein Powder made from egg whites hopefully that will be better. Even Water doesn't taste very good. Hoping this is temporary. It has been a struggle getting my fluids in and I haven't met protein goals yet.

I gound an organic plant-based Protein powder flavors of chocolate and Peanut Butter which I am able to tolerate. Also using almond milk has helped. Met my liquid goal finally and still working on protein but got it up to 43 yesterday (highest number yet).

Yep, everyone's tastes change (and so far at 4 months postop, mine have stayed changed). I'm surprised milk tastes sour to you. You can try lactaid milk (might be too sweet, but worth a shot).. ok to drink, even if you aren't lactose intolerant. Fairlife milk also tastes different (and of course 2%, skim, and whole will all vary as well).
There are a zillion types of tea (especially herbal), hopefully some of those will go down ok. Camomile is usually pretty nice and soothing. Homemade broth might be good, and can get you some Protein in as well. (google "bone broth" for recipes.. but put meat in too, as it will add more protein to the broth.)
For the next couple months, everything will be an experiment to see what you can tolerate. Tiny changes in type or brand can make a big difference.

shellyv0120 got a reaction from jess9395 in Protein shakes with 7 grams sugar is this too much?
My nutritionist said to look for Protein Shakes with 5 grams or less of sugar and fat and if you add a zero to the Protein the calories must be under that number. Hope this helps!
