I just past my 7th week post op on Friday- so therefore, I'm able to start introducing new foods and have no restrictions. I'm having difficulty finding foods I like anymore. Everything tastes different to me now. If I liked it before surgery, chances are I'm not going to like it now. Anyone else having this issue?

I was like that too. I'm only 3 weeks out. I'm not having that problem now. The only thing I'm having a problem with is coffee and I used o love coffee.

It's frustrating because I just don't know what to cook anymore :/ I end up throwing it away if I don't like it. The thought of even having it in my house makes my stomach queasy. It such a waste of money!

I don't even know what to tell you. I hope your taste buds start cooperating.

Maybe just buy really small portions of things and spend a day experiementing with various recipies.. you can make your food for the week and start making a list of the likes and dislikes. It must be hard.. it's like getting to know yourself all over again.

I'm a month post op and having very similar problems. Nothing seems to appeal to me anymore food wise; I find even thinking about what to make/eat makes me more nauseous more often then it doesn't. It gets frustrating as I know I need to eat...it makes me feel abnormal. So weird how before the surgery all I thought about was what I would be having for my next meal. I hope it gets better, I don't want to always feel sick when it's time to eat. Maybe when I can add more foods I'll feel like I have options/variety and things may be more enticing.

Really close to being 8 weeks post op and I used to LOVE eggs. Scrambled boiled fried deviled sunny side up however I could get 'em. Now the thought and taste of eggs makes me nauseous. I tried to taste some again this morning and yuk!

O M G Bernie - no coffee? That's just wrong! LOL!!

I am the same way

Funny I was a big coffee drinker prior to my surgery too... Now I have no desire to drink it. I've even tried a few times!

I know. I have the keurig machine so I've been trying different brands. Lol.

Keurig makes the best coffee I have ever tasted and I've been drinking coffee a long time. Do you prefer light, medium or dark roast? Perhaps I can make a recommendation or two. I've been drinking decaf post-op which I was afraid would be terrible but they're actually quite good and they have a good selection.

I had this same exact problem....and I also found I loved a lot of new foods that I hadn't previously liked!! It's touch and go and a day to day thing some days I love something and the next day I can't stand it!

I like the dark. My favorite is emerils.

I am three weeks out and right after I woke up from surgery I noticed that my sense of smell got real sensitive. I can smell things from far away. If food has a smell I don't like I can't even think of eating it because I'm grossed out before tasting it. So not a lot of food is appealing at the moment.

I love my Keurig. We have the attachement for it so you can buy ground coffee and put it in there instead of having to buy the KCups.. so we buy starbucks coffee and put it in the Keurig. Yum
