What Happened To My Taste Buds! Day 12 Pre-Op Diet.



Recommended Posts

So doing alright on the pre-op diet and wake up this morning and get my Protein Drink the same taste. Then I do a Unjury no flavor with Powerade zero later today and bam! Yuck. Yuck. It tastes way to sweet and has a creamy texture. This can't be, I had planned on this as my go to drink after surgery but it is horrible now. What the heck happened.

your taste buds are always changing. :) i'm sure you can think of some foods that you hated as a kid, but now like... or that you liked as a kid & now aren't so hot about... when you change your eating habits, your taste buds change to accomodate 'em. if you go without sugar or salt for a while, you'll really start noticing how much extra salt and sugar is in everything.. since you're not eating so much sugar these days, perhaps your taste buds are now more sensitive to it & that's what you're noticing. :)

I'm 26 days post-op and the same thing is happening to me! It takes everything I have to choke down my Unjury, and I LOVED it up until this week. Thankfully I'm still enjoying my nectar Protein.< /p>

Once I hit post op, all of the Protein Shakes I enjoyed previously tasted disgusting. I am still struggling to find something that can get past my taste buds for they are extremely picky! Some people have an easy go but I am not one of those!

What is the nectar Protein?

nectar is made by Syntrax it is the highest quality Protein you can get. Pure whey protein isolate, jut like unjury. Nectar is thinner and has fruitier flavors though.

For those of you who are like me and had large bins of expensive Protein powders that suddenly tasted horrible to you...I was able to stick with mine (out of sheer will power) and after a while my taste buds learned to like them again. I couldn't bear the thought of letting all that Protein Powder go to waste. I was going to make a change after I was finished, but then very helpful hubby had already ordered more! I found thinning mine out with more liquid helped.

Exactly! I think the fact that it's thinner is why I tend to favor the nectar. To me, it's less sweet than my Unjury. I usually mix up a shake and pour it over ice...I could drink it all day.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
