Has anybody else had a dramatic change in their taste buds? Before the sleeve I loved pizza and mozzarella sticks and lots of other foods. Now 3 weeks after surgery I can't stand the smell of deep fried food. Cooking beef made me sick. And my son walked by with pizza and it turned my stomach. Does this ever calm down or is it going to be like this forever? Not that I am complaining because it helps me stay away from all the foods that helped get me to 279 pounds.

I'm only at ten weeks out, so I can't say for sure. However, some things that I used to love make me nauseated just to think about them now. I sat here one day at work last week with a box of doughnuts on my desk all day and never once was even tempted because the smell is just gross to me now. I used to LOVE doughnuts and in the past would have probably eaten 3 or 4 of them. I feel pretty much the same about any sweets now. Heck, I accidentally ate a regular greek yogurt last week with like 18 grams of sugar instead of the light ones with 7 grams and I thought I was going to die because I felt so sick afterwards.

@@samanthar Yes! They still do I liked all the premier protein shakes before surgery now I only like chocolate, I liked coconut water my first 2 days out, now I don't want it, and I liked my cream of shrimp soup but not anymore! It's like day to day things change. Sooooo try not to stock up on too much. Get the smallest quantities That you can and keep trying them for a few days because day one and two may be good but by day 3 your over it

I didn't mind the protein shakes before. Now after I have to choke them down. And sweets were a problem before and this weekend I walked past a cinnabun stand and had to turn around and walk the other way. Couldn't stand the smell. I have read where people say their taste buds change. But I guess until you experience it you don't understand just how much.

All Protein shakes tasted gross immediately post op. Now they aren't so bad again. But I cannot drink chocolate shakes anymore. And mostly I get vanilla and put a scoop of it in my coffee. But I can drink a vanilla shake straight if I need to. But chocolate? Nope.

I have NEVER liked beans. They made me sick to even smell them.... Well now I LOVE refrained beans! My husband was shocked when he saw me eat them. Lol
