Food Choice - Hot Vs Cold



Recommended Posts

Hi.. I'm 11 weeks post op.. and notice an odd eating habit..

Before being sleeved.. I loved eating food that was cold.. yogurt, milk, cold Soup and salads! I would cool down everything before eating

It would hardly take 15 minutes to finish my favorite yogurt serving..

Now! I have one open for over 4 hours.. (14gms of delicious Protein right there!).. but every spoon I try to get in.. feels repulsive.

I only want to eat food that is hot or at least warm (my mom would love that!)

Has this happened with anyone else????

I hope this doesn't happen to me! When I was right out of surgery, anything very cold would give me stomach contractions, but this resolved in a few days. Hot things still feel really nice, but cold is fine too. Icy things don't apeal to me though. I haven't had a popcicle or anything yet, it just doesn't sound yummy.. but very cold drinks are fine. When did this start happening to you? Is this something new or has it always been this way for you since being sleeved?

I think this started troubling me when i started trying soft foods.. 3 to 4 weeks ago..

But i recall.. i could not drink my apple juice at the hospital until it reached room temperature. so maybe it started then. :mellow:

It might change back. I like things room temp-ish before, then for the longest time I craved everything cold (surprised I didnt turn into an ice pop!) after. Now I'm back to everything room temp or a little hotter.

Taste buds changed too. I dont mind turkey or asian as much, and not a huge huge fan of kielbasa/hot dogs/sausage/etc anymore. Used to love Shoprite iced tea, but its too tangy now.For a bit during complications the only thing I would drink was watered down apple juice (HATED before, and hate now). Still a carb fan though.. lol

I use to love everything warm except my drinks but now after my surgery I crave everything I've cold....I to have eaten so many popsicles, ice all day ect. My taste buds have changed drastically too, stuff I loved before surgery tastes like crap now. I can also smell things from a mile away too since surgery.....ok maybe not a mile but I can smell EVERYTHING, good and bad! Just go with what works for you, we're all different!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
