I have heard that for many people their taste buds change after surgery, and food doesn't just taste the same. Have you found this to be true?

That sounds good to me! Thanks for sharing.:thumbup1:

I am two months out and I never have heartburn. I have a really hard time remembering to take my medicine that you're supposed to take for it for a few short months until your stomach realizes it doesn't need to make acid because most of it is gone.

None of my tastes have changed. The only difference I notice since I've had this surgery is that I get really full really fast!

OH so there is hope for me that this super-sonic smelling won't last? Thank GOD!

There sure is. Here's a tip for coffee. Take 1/4 packet of SF hot chocolate and add it to the hot coffee. I so missed the pre-op taste of coffee but now the taste and smell and coffee is back... almost to normal. Ahhhhhhhh.

Ahhhhhhhhhhhh.... I think I love you Elisabeth! LOL ... I will definitely try it as oh I have missed my morning cup of coffee

I had acid reflux before surgery - not all the time, just depended on what I ate and whether it agreed with me or not ... my acid reflux is the same since the surgery. I take the 20 mg. of Nexium mups daily in the morning as Dr. Aceves recommends and will do so for 3 months and if I still have acid reflux, will treat it as I did before the sugery - with Nexium and/or Zantac on an as needed basis.
