Lost My Taste For Sweets?

Hi all, so this is a blessing and a curse heh... ever since surgery I don't want and gag over basically everything that's sweet. Even things like iced tea/lemonade (arnold palmer) which was my FAVORITE DRINK and now the lemonade tastes sickly sweet to me. I can only tolerate plain black tea. I want bitter, savory and spicy and nothing else!! Makes protein shakes unbearable though :-/ Did anyone else completely lose a taste for sugar?

    Yes, but it will come back. I now can eat every food I could before surgery...just not a lot of it.

Huge sweet tooth before' date=' not so much now (and can't tolerate them). Make your own Protein shakes so you control the sweet--add extra milk or plain yogurt to cut the overly-sweet taste. Or add something non-sweet--and don't gross out, because you really won't taste it--like spinach. It will give you some great nutrition and cut a bit of the sweet. I make a killer Breakfast smoothy with Greek yogurt, almond milk (both unsweetened), spinach, a couple of pecans, and a couple of frozen cherries. Fits perfectly in my magic bullet and is SO GOOD and I don't have to mess with Protein powder, which my sleeve emphatically rejects. Can't taste the spinach--turns a not-too-pretty color, but it's delicious and not too sweet![/quote']

Whats a bullet ?

I love to baressentail shakes from Dr.kim but they are expensive. I now is EAS advantage and I love em. Chocolate is my favorite. But I have to drink them extra cold.

Magic Bullet. It's a mini blender that blends everything in a cup you can then drink from.

PB2 is awesome! You can throw the powder into a shake or mix it with Water to have really low call peanut butter. It's 45 calories for 2 tablespoons. And they have a chocolate flavor! Just Google it. You can buy from their website, Amazon or local health food or upscale stores. The manufacturer's site has a store locator.
