Taste buds and sleep

[nyorker 67]

Today was day 7 post op. went to paneras and ordered Tomato Soup. Had maybe 8 spoon fulls and doggy bagged for tomorrow. Soup didnt taste the same. Do our taste buds change? The soup was liquidy so it should of been safe. Also i bought chobani yogurt but it had like 20g carbs. Is this the wrong type to be eating? It does have strawberry on the bottom and went down easy. I didnt think i can eat so much day 7. Also at night i am in bed from 10pm to 2-3 am and cannot sleep is this normal? I used to go to ber at 9pm and pass out.

It sounds like what you're eating is fine. I lived on cream Soups for the first few weeks and also Chobani. I'm 4 wks out and already down 40lbs so I think you're good. As far as sleep goes, I've had the WORST insomnia over the past 2 weeks. It's getting so bad and I was wondering if this was common too but didn't bother putting up a post. I did some research and apparently this is a common problem but there is no direct link to why. I have an appt. with my surgeon next week and I'm hoping he can maybe prescribe me something to try to get my body on track cause it's not happening on it's own. I've tried the over the counter sleep aids and even they are not helping. I know a lot of doc's are against sleeping pills nowadays due to idiots that abuse the drug but damn, hopefully my surgeon is understanding cause I need some serious help here lol.

Some people say they no longer like a lot of things they used to pre op. I have not had that with anything really uet. I just dont crave as many things I did pre op. I use the dannon lite & fit greek yogurt it has luke 12g of Protein in it & is only 80 calories. Mine has the fruit on the bottom tok I just can not eat greek yogurt without the fruit in it. As far as the sleeping issue goes I am in the same boat as you. I am just shy of 6 weeks out & have had troubke sleeping since about week 3-4.

im not allowed to have fruit in my yogurt so i have been having the fage greek with honey. i cant wait until i can have fruit though because im having a hard time getting the right blend and i would hate to cheat with yogurt. i cant sleep either. i have had this problem before though so i was figuring it was just me being me. its weird because i will be super exhausted, even my eyes will burn but when i lie down, nothing.
