Is There Something Wrong?



Recommended Posts

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

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. :D 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.

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 :P 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 :P I'm becoming a veritable wine sleeze as I try to get my palate back :o So far whites and rose are back, red is a challenge...but I'm dedicated LOL

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
