So my first post got so many interesting answers that I couldn't wait to post again!!!! So I have a question for those of you who have been sleeved and have gotten to the point that you are eating solids again. I have heard from many that your taste for certain foods changes. Some things that you may not have liked before you may like now. I am sure this question has been asked before but... does anyone want to share their experience if this has happened? And if it has what foods did you find you liked more or liked less than before? Can't wait to hear the responses!

Your tastes are going to go thru cycles, and not just once, but many times. I try foods sometimes weekly, and some times my tastes will change that quickly (though not too often). I haven't found too many foods I didn't like that I now like (then again I don't usually try foods I didn't like before) but I've had foods I like, go onto the not so much list. Even chocolate, especially chocolate Protein Shakes have move into my not so great catagory. eggs have been off the menu but are back on now... Couldn't eat chicken for a time, but tried it again last week and my sleeve didn't have a negative reaction, and it tasted just fine. Sometimes the taste is now great, and sometimes my sleeve tells me not to eat that again (or else).

I eat fish and fish and more fish..Does not matter what kind...I try it...the only fish so far I can't tolerate is canned tuna...Sticks in my throat..

I have lost interest in so many foods...corn for one, beef, pork, even bacon is difficult for me to eat.....I tried olives the other night and spit them out...I used to love olives...green ones...as the black ones always tasted like dirt to me...

I have tried a lot of new foods that I would never have eaten before like sardines....clams....etc..

The first 3 months after surgery nothing tasted right (probably due to anesthesia according to my doc). Now, I can eat anything, I can't pinpoint anything that tastes odd/off. Granted I wish some things did! haha..

I've heard our taste buds change every 7 years, wonder if some of our surgeries fall under that 7th year! The only issue I've had since surgery that still seems to linger is my tolerance for dairy :( I was sleeved in December and just had my first small glass of milk last week. I was able to tolerate it but it's not something I can do often. My doc said alot of sleevers tend to become lactose intolerant (good at keeping me off sneaky foods like ice cream, but MILK? sad)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
