I’m 6 weeks out, but anything that has a sugary taste does not agree with my tastebuds anymore. It’s been a challenge with the shakes and sugar free drinks.

i couldn't stand Protein Shakes (except the Cookies and cream premier one) after surgery and they tasted like garbage.. i gagged on them.. which was weird bc i loved them before surgery.

i find my tolerance to spice to be a lot less, which sucks w/the 30-30-30 rule. and sometimes if i have a real sugar-treat, it doesn't taste the same.. not as good as i remember.

I stocked up on Protein Shakes in preparation hoping I'm able to keep them down and at least slightly enjoy

Where did you buy the Tylenol dissolve packs?

I looked them up on Amazon and you can get 32 extra strength for $11 I getting ready to get some lol

I'm curious to know how your tastebuds changed after surgery. What do you like to eat now that you didn't before? What did you use to enjoy but can't tolerate now?

How long will you be in the hospital? I was supposed to be in the hospital for two nights, in which case, I probably would not have needed pain meds. But it turned out (thank you, COVID) that I was outpatient and needed pain meds until Day 3. And I agree, speak to your surgeon about pain management post surgery.

I will be there for one night. I will speak with him; thank you!

Thank you! I will do that!

It may not be your Doc's practice to prescribe or discuss post-op meds until... post-op. He may want to have a sense of what happened during the surgery, and also see how your feel after.

Good luck,

That's true! I can see that with people having addictions to pain medicine. Thank you!

That seems unusual. I have had 2 bariatric surgeries and both times was given not only pain meds, but also prescription stomach meds/acid reducers and anti-nausea medications. Are you having surgery in the US?

Yes, surgery in the US. He only prescribed meds to prevent acid reflux after surgery

Hey! I have surgery next Wednesday 10/28 and my doctor isn't prescribing me any meds for after I live the hospital. Did anyone else have this happen? Hopefully if I'm in a lot of pain before discharge he will change that.

Someone cancelled and I got pushed up to October 28th! Next Wednesday 😀
