Weird Food Preferences Post-Op?



Recommended Posts

I love eggs... Always have, always will. Any way you cook them, I'll eat them, but since being sleeved I've discovered that unless they've got ketchup on top (something I never would have eaten before,) I can't eat them. chicken HAS to have BBQ Sauce on top no matter how it's prepared, broccoli has to be steamed plain with no cheese...

I realize that food wise our tastes have changed but I'm just curious what other "weird" food preferences others have now that they may not have had before.

I used to love eggs too but now they make me dump. I used to like seasoned foods but now my taste buds are ultra sensitive and I love plain foods like plain oatmeal. On another note my sense of smell is heightened

I used to salt almost EVERYTHING. I haven't picked up a shaker, but to cook with in 7 months.

I used to love eggs, especially eggs benedict. But now I don't reach for them that much unless I put a conscious effort in. Right now I love cottage cheese with sardines, something I never considered eating together at all. I got the idea of eating tuna and cottage cheese through this website, but have since preferred sardines instead...

Sorry, the salt thing wasn't weird. I can't top sardines and cottage cheese, but how about Peanut Butter spread on roast beef or chicken?

On the contrary, somehow I enjoy now using more salt than before being sleeved. Before the procedure, I didn't like using salt. I was more of a sweet tooth person. Now I enjoy some Snacks that tend to be salty, like peanuts, olives, etc.

The weird thing is that now, I really don't like most dairy products. I don't enjoy yogurt, nor milk, if I do eat ice cream, it's usually lime or mango ice cream which are pretty much Water based (I haven't seen that too many times int the US, but those are common flavors here in Mexico).

I used to love coffee but now even the smell of someone else near me with it almost makes me sick to my stomach

      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.

        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!
