I'm reading a lot about how everything tastes different that people are throwing up all the time. I have done neither one. Should I be? Should things feel or taste different cause to me water taste just like water cold or hot. Lol

I experienced that the first 3 months.... coffee didn't taste good.... some foods made me throw up, but after that everything went back to normal again....

I think everyone is different, I am scared I wont like the same foods like chicken and seafood after Surgery! I hope thats not the case!

That's good! Your lucky water taste heavy for me nothing taste the same well some things do I just don't enjoy it as much.

fyre, Not everyone has the same experience with tastes changing. Mine did, but I think the pre-op diet was part of those changes for me. Mine was very restrictive and I couldn't handle anything sweet for several months after surgery. Of course, I made the mistake of having some chocolate and lost that revulsion!

Don't worry if your experience isn't exactly the same as everyone else's. It's also good that you aren't having a problem with Water. You will do better on staying hydrated since you can drink it easily.

Good luck!!

Vomiting is never good. I am just over 8 weeks and have not. My tastes have changed: I LOVE fish, horseradish eat it every day!!

I am a month out today, and have never vomited, not even right after surgery. Which is a miracle, because normally i react badly to anesthesia. But i'm grateful, since i vomited almost daily for the last couple of months with the band.

Everything seems to taste the same to me, but one Protein Shake that i loved pre-op make me dump last weekend. That was the first, and probably last, time that i will have that particular shake. Horrible, horrible feeling.

It's different for everyone, i suspect. I still feel hunger, which is one thing i hoped to lose.

I never threw up but once (it was my fault) and as for tastes...water tasted like water hot or cold and the only thing i noticed the first month was how sweet everything tasted. It has sort of leveled out now and i still think some things are sweet but I am pretty much back to normal.

I was the same way now things seem to be getting back to normal also.

My taste never changed nor did I ever come close to vomiting, except during that barium swallow.

About once a week or two, someone asks "I'm not throwing up, should I be?"

I want to answer, "Yes, now go vomit and report back."

LOL. I'm GLAD you're not having many issues.

Count your blessings and don't worry that you are not sick. I had no problems and no changes in taste after my sleeve. You are just one of the blessed ones. K

I also have been very fortunate, no nausea, or any of the other side effects.

I was a huge coffee drinker and lost my taste for it, and mostly prefer savory foods vs. sweet.

I had complications so I went without food for about 50 days. Sadly Water still tastes like water (I was hoping it would taste like wine). I did lose my desire for bad carbs but as I was preparing spagetti tonight I did think about garlic bread I didn't have any but the whole wheat Pasta was a lovely treat.

Oddly enough wine tasted like crap after I returned to the booze wagon. We collect wine so this is a bit of a tragedy. I was told it was because I went without any food for so long due to the complications. It's not abnormal that if you take a long absence from foods that it takes your body time to develop the ability to experience flavors again in some areas. For me it's the subtle tastes within red wine. But being a wine virgin again isn't all bad I'm becoming a veritable wine sleeze as I try to get my palate back So far whites and rose are back, red is a challenge...but I'm dedicated LOL

Oh and I've puked once. I ate a protein bar that had some kind of puffy rice crap in it. My doc says not to puke, so I avoid it! I could have just gone anaorexic if puking was ok with me
