Now that I think about it I had some temporary aversion to everything tofu and soy yoghurt. It lasted about 7 or 8 months or so.

I found that my tastes for certain foods has changed. For instance pre surgery I could not stand canned sardines or mackerel or liver Today I can eat them with no problem. Others I know have sworn off certain foods that they ate pre op. It's something that affects some but not all and for the most part cannot be explained.

You can train your taste buds up to a certain degree.
You might never like a food you truly hate hate HATE but you can train yourself to like and even crave foods you're kind of ok-ish with. So what vegetables are you kind ok-ish with?

Yes, absolutely! I’m 6 wks out RNY and not only are tastes off, but smells are too. eggs now have a slightly wet dog odor to my nose. I gag if I don’t cover them in shredded cheese. It feels quite similar to pregnancy where my stomach and nose were NEVER on the same page. Some consistency’s make me ill as well. Dry chicken, tuna and cod. If I’m honest, I have become a little frustrated with Proteins as the more of them I try, the smaller my options seem.

I have hope that after 8 and 12 weeks my senses will calm a bit.

I'm almost 2 months out from my sleeve. I have lost 42 pounds. The problem is that I am finding that a lot of foods taste yucky to me now.
I totally never expected that. Even foods that I once loved now taste "chemically" to me. I have given up on lots of foods altogether.
My surgeon says he hears this all the time but no good explanation.
Any insights?

I am now so gagged out on shakes and trying to gag down Protein Drinks. I just don't know what to do. I tried mixing powder in with yogurt. (BARF).
I thought about bars. But most have chocolate or artificial sweeteners.
I need some guidance. PLEASE!!!

I am a year out and still never get hungry. I know portion sizing really well so never over fill for the full feeling Just do not like it. Run with the no hunger made my journey a little easier and still to this day i have to mentally remember to eat!

Yes, very normal and you’re doing the right thing.
Almost 16months out, & I still often don’t feel hungry. (Hope it lasts a lot longer.) On these days, I stick to my routine of when & what I eat (though I do eat a little less & stretch out meal times on these days).
Oh, & you’ll certainly know when your restriction starts to kick in. Also, I noticed when I did start to feel hungry it was a different feeling. I didn’t know what was wrong but knew something was off. But that could be just me - lol.

yes - normal. Most of us lose our hunger for several months. It comes back for the vast majority sometime during the first year, and things get harder then - so take advantage of it while it lasts - it'll never be easier to lose weight than the next few months!
fullness - first of all, you likely had nerves that were cut during surgery, and it'll take awhile for them to regenerate. Also, you'll start feeling restriction once you move on to solid food. In the meantime, just measure out what you're supposed to eat and just eat that.
