My taste never changed. My sense of smell has never worked well ever since a massive sinus infection when I was a kid.

I've never heard of salmon having that much Protein. Most frozen and canned salmon is about 22-25 Protein grams per 3-4 ounces. Salmon does have more protein compared to other fish. Maui has only 60 calories and 15 protein grams per 6 ounce piece.

LOL I wish, but not even close. I love and hate exactly the same things I did before surgery and my cravings have not been mitigated in the slightest. The benefit is that a little bit of food will get me to stop thinking about food altogether for at least several hours. I don't tend to come down on the lucky side of these lotteries, but at least the surgery appears to be doing what it essentially guaranteed.

YES! I was "sleeved" on Dec 11 2013... and almost right away I noticed a change - I have always had keen sense of smell - but now... it’s crazy... and my sense of taste... holy craziness!

I use to LOVE bacon, pork chops, HAM… they use to be my very own food group… NOT anymore! Even tap water… I can taste the chemicals, so I do bottled (sigh)…

Really anything that has been processed has a funny chemical taste to me… like Pasta, bread etc… I can taste the flour and salt etc… CAKES… omg they are disgusting now, they are just grossly sweet… its really helped with my weight loss… because foods that I would “go to” are no longer appealing to me. I have lost 73lbs in 4 months… I don’t know if I would have, had it not been for my taste buds being completely different…

THAT IS AWESOME!!!! ????????????????

My sense of taste only changed for a couple of days, about a week after surgery. I couldn't tolerate any type of Protein drink, apple juice or applesauce but white grape juice was ok. Everything is back to normal now (6 weeks out). The list of foods I am allowed is still relatively narrow but I LOVE to smell food. I'll Detour and drive down streets with savory food smells every chance I get. It doesn't make me hungry but really satisfies this need to "experience" flavors.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
