I was wondering if anyone else had a change in the way food tastes and smells since they have gotten their band or am I the only one and need to be checked by my primary care.

Thanks

My taste for some foods changed and I've read others who voiced similar thoughts. Mostly it's fast foods and some red meats that taste different, not as good. And that's a good thing.

W-What part of the country are you from?

I'd never heard that before but it appears it's true and Jack Daniels was related to Felix Waggoner. Check out this link?

http://www.fohbc.org/PDF_Files/JackDaniels_Cauwels.pdf

J"asper "Jack" Newton Daniel was born

on September 5th, 1846, the last of ten

children born to Calaway and Lucinda

Daniel. Jack’s mother died a few months

after he was born. When his father later

remarried, Jack could not get use to his

new stepmother, and after a lot of thinking

and talking to his siblings, he decided he

would leave home and live with a

neighbor. On his sixth birthday, he said

goodbye to his favorite sister and told her

he wanted to go live with their Uncle Felix.

Jack then moved in with Felix Waggoner

and his family on a very large farm on the

banks of Mulberry Creek in Lincoln

County."

Wow! There may be something to that story after all! Lol thank you for sharing that. I will ask my mom more questions. My Aunt Fran was working on the family tree but when she passed away I am not sure who ended up with all the research. Now I really want to know!

my taste changed too. I used to eat sushi 3 times a week. Can't stand it now. Don't like milk or ice cream either, now. Same for avocados! Strange.

Oh good, I thought I was the only one who had taste changes in some food. Some I loved, when I smell them I want to barf.

Baked sweets taste too sweet for me now. I took a bite of birthday cake frosting at a family party and could barely swallow it.

Same thing with a lemon berry slush from sonic, my boyfriend loves them, I tried a sip and it was way too sweet.

I cannot stomach pizza anymore either. Which is a good thing I guess. Haha

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
