Hi guys

It's probably my taste buds changed but omg...all the Protein shakes and even the chewable Vitamins are just too sweet for me...what happened?...I used to have such a sweet tooth and I'm not even a week out yet.

But, on a serious note...sweets things are what got a lot of us here in the first place. Don't you think these companies should be marketing their products to suit all tastes or at least give us the WLS post op patient the choice to add sweet if we want to or need to.

I said to my husband tonight...I know before I would not have turned down a sweet treat before, but that last shake is so sweet I'd rather go without...I would have been happier if it had tasted like Mac and cheese or just plain old Soup.

It's very common for things to be too sweet post op. I wasn't even able to drink crystal light right away. My taste buds have gotten better and I can now handle crystal light and most protein shakes so it may get better for you too! I drank unjury chicken soup when that happened to me, even though I wasn't too fond of it.

I was the same way post surgery. My taste buds are still different. I no longer crave or even like things sweet and I was a confirmed sweet a holic. I have not tested it but anytime I even smell baked goods it grosses me out. God willing this stays.

My taste buds totally changed !!! I never was a sweet tooth person, I was more the chip type of girl. Now if I never had another chip I would be fine but I want sweets !! The fat free sugar free ice pops satisfy my sweet tooth.

I went through this phase as well, even Crystal Light was either too sweet or way to sour. Same goes for creamers for my coffee, I had to switch to decaf because the regular coffee soured my stomach. Im finding that its not getting any easier to find a Protein shake that is not sweet enough, most have that after taste of stevia ick! and I am 3 months post op. Did anyone else have these changes?

My tastebuds have changed as well. Everytime I swing my by local GNC they give me samples of stuff to try. I found that I could tolerate the "Jay Robb" brand of protien powder. I mix it with 12oz of soy milk. I also can't stop eating green olives.

I had such a problem with the sweet protein shakes that I use half flavored protein powder and half unflavored. I can't use just straight flavored protein powder. I use Unjury. I also do better with smoothies than shakes. Something about the slushy frozen consistency works better for me.
