Its kinda gross not a sweet tooth anyway so to have this sweetness in everything is yucky lol

Had to give away 2 massive pouches of Protein shake because I couldn’t handle how suddenly sweet it was not like them things are cheap either lol and ruined my trial size packs which I did before I bought the massive ones but nope tastes change wasted money!

Constipation - I need to take a stool softner every three days or so. It really helps.

I also get a hot/flushed feeling after I eat a little too much that lasts for up to an hour. I also get the hiccups after eating.

I was never told I would have this film I can't brush off the back of my teeth.

I went to the dentist this week and she says that, along with my bad breath,it is caused by my diet. She says she sees it a lot in people who are on Atkins diet. She says that it'll get better once I integrate more than Protein into my diet. I told her that I eat Protein first, and then hardly have room for anything else. She also said that my taste buds are affected by this too, and that's why nothing taste the same.

For the Constipation I personally just drink prune juice I would rather drink a more natural reliever than use medication!

I never had a sweet tooth either. I just figure that I've conditioned my body to do without sugar. I never eat refined sugar anymore. I had two bites of my daughter's ice cream and felt ill. I couldn't get the sickening sweet taste out of my mouth.

fruit still tastes fine.

Thankfully fruit is good for me and right now its nectarines all the way I eat one a day while they are in season and taste good lol

Does throw me off when I am cooking though where I never used to over salt anything (that’s what I was sensitive too salt and pepper) I have to mind I am not heavy handed because of the sweetness.

also I noticed spicy stuff isn’t so spicy I was really heavy handed when making chilli twice and to me it was still nothing special when I ate some but my family were like blimey that’s got kick!

lol

Are doing something else in place of the shakes? I already don't like anything too sweet so I'm guessing this will affect me too.

I can tolerate flavours because I have too like the chocolate orange one if you do it cold enough and don’t leave it to sit is fine if you leave it then the orange gets a bit tangy in the back of your throat.

The chocolate cookie one I use hazelnut milk so its got more earthy tones going on there.

I also only ever use 150mls of milk and 1 and half scoops I make them thick and less liquid but still high Protein 35g per shake for my brand in that amount.

I ordered sample packs of the Syntrax nectar not been able to drink one yet super super super sweet.

I did order the juice phd ready to drinks they are these http://www.dolphinfi...ro-rtd-12/28810

They taste ok not sweet at all actually to me have a slight yogurt taste to them I liked orange best so I got a case so I can drink them when I am out or don’t want a heavy shake and would rather a ice filled juice drink and they are 40g of Protein per bottle I sip half of one over ice then a few hours later the other half to break it up and not waste the protein as you can only absorb a certain amount at a time.

If you’re in the us they have way more juice ready to drink options than the uk.

Just sample pack or single bottle anything you find look on ebay or stores or online websites for samples or e-mail them for single serving sample packs beats the heck out of paying for a massive thing and first sip your spitting out because they will not take it back!

How about the affects of your medications...i take ultram for my back and before surgery it gave me an instant headache to Migraine daily and i only took one a day...now i dont get headaches at all from it...that was like wow! also my clonedine made me a little drowsy before surgery (its only .1mg) and now its like a sleeping pill! Knocks me out within 15 mins...I quit having hot flashes...im assuming this has to do with lack of Protein maybe? but i dont sweat like i did before...im actually cold alot...thats a huge change for me...

What about your sense of smell? After getting home I had to unplug my scentsy warmers. 22 days out and I still can't stomach strong smells!

1. The most weird - I didn't realize if I wouldn't feel hunger I also never feel full, or the feeling is so much different I only recognize im full by being tired of eating for a meal...

2. Smells were really strong the first week lots of things could make me nauseated.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
