Mind Set Change Or Dr Did Something With Taste Buds...lol



Recommended Posts

ok, so yesterday I was 4 weeks post op and I recently had pizza, now pizza was ONE of my favs to eat before my band and believe you me, I could put away some pizza but that day eating with my mom I only ate 1 1/2 pc and not all of the crust and it just didn't taste as good as I wanted it to. Probably will not eat it for a while as I don't want the fat and calories. I think my doctor changed my taste buds...lol, all I've been eating is healthy foods, which is good, don't get me wrong but the thought of going back to eating like I was, well, is disgusting now. Hope this mind set stays!

Theres several foods which strangely disgust me now much as i want to like them. And weirdest of all, they tasted GREAT while i was unfilled for. Couple of months, and instantly became revolting again when i had restriction back. pizza, bread, and sort of melting, cooked cheese, chinese food ugh. Even the smell makes m gag.

I think once you're past the withdrawals and have been eating healthy for awhile, your tastes do change. I know mine have. I mean, if someone told me 6 months ago I'd be craving salads this summer I'd have laughed at them. But, it's true, I am on a total salad kick and could eat it every single day easily.

Same with cucumbers. I don't want potato chips, I want sliced cucumber with a little sprinkle of salt.

It's very odd but I'm definitely not complaining :)

That is one of the nice side effect of getting banded :) It sure helps with some of the head hunger.

Just go with it ............

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
