Stomach issues--Gross out easily?

[BeckyC73 0]

Has anyone else had issues with being grossed out easily and finding certain foods intolerable since getting banded?

I have NEVER been a picky eater, always loved to try new things, but since getting banded there is a lot of stuff that I have aversions to, mostly stuff I'm supposed to eat. During the pre-op diet (which was not liquid, but high Protein, no carb, low fat) I did Protein Drinks and I didn't mind them, even liked them. Now they turn my stomach. The chewable vitamins I bought (not VitaBand but same company) don't TASTE bad, but upset my stomach and made me puke for some reason and I can't keep them down, so now I have an aversion to anything orange-cream flavored. (I had a bite of my daughter's orange creamsicle yesterday and nearly lost it!)

I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO! I have never been this way (except kind of in my first trimester--but not even this much) and am worried about my Vitamins.

Has this happened to anyone else? What did you do about it?

I do find I have an aversion to things I liked before, even the smell makes me gag. I'm not really sure if for me it is psychological or what. I would suggest you try a different brand of Vitamin, maybe talk to your Dr. or NUT.

Definitely. My stomach is much more sensitive to an overload of fat or sugar and what is an overload now is much less than before.

Certain foods and drinks - like wine for example, my taste has changed from dry whites like sauvigon blancs and chardonnays to sweeter wines with more body - like a riesling becuase the dry wines just burn horribly sometimes. I absolutely cant drink wine on an empty stomach.I used to avoid red because it makes my teeth look awful and grey but now I prefer it becuase its not so acidic and doesnt burn.

Some foods make me feel sick to even think about eating - the smell of cheese grilling now makes me want to hurl - and my kids make cheese on toast every morning just about! A lot of healthier foods I just dont want anymore because they're hard to eat and even though I can eat bread, I never fancy it at all. I barely ever eat bread. I also get these moods where I know I want something but I dont know what.

I handle it by not eating foods that make me feel sick to eat, not overloading my stomach with fat and sugar and having something to eat before I have a glass of wine (as well as not feeling embarrassed by not choosing "trendy" wines like sav blancs and going for daggy old rieslings which went out of fashion in the 70's, lol, who ever thought drinks would be in "fashion"?). I literally force myself to eat a piece of fruit every single day though.

Even if it is psychological, that doesn't make it any easier to overcome.

I don't know of any other chewable vitamins that include a B-Complex. Anyone know of one?
