It is not uncommon for your taste buds &/or sense of smell to change or become more sensitive after surgery. It’s temporary but it can make it a challenge to find foods that don’t turn your tummy. Many of us find our old favourites taste disgusting, or overly sweet or salty. A lot of us suggest you don’t buy your pre surgery shakes in bulk as you may hate the brand or flavour after surgery. It was many weeks into solid food before I could tolerate my favourite vegetables (asparagus, sugar snap peas & broccolini) again. Can also be a blessing. Finding things excessively sweet helped take away a lot of my desire for sweet food. Used to eat something sweet every day now only a couple of times a year.

Yes I'm a week and a day out and want real food bad but as was said earlier. The struggle is real

Hi [emoji16]
I'm now two weeks post op and yes I definitely get the urge. I pinched two of my husband's chips and boy did I quickly wish I hadn't! [emoji85]

Using a measuring cup helped. The dietician said I needed to drink 2 - 3oz every 15 min. It seemed impossible with little sips. But I found that bigger sips helped get my water intake in in the time frame she suggested.

I'm a week post op today, my food cravings are out of this world, I'm very weak and fatigued, still have some pain in my chest and tummy. I'm not a big fan of being down so ready to feel better
