I am 10 days post-op RNY Gastric Bypass. Nothing taste the same nor does it taste good. Even water has a strange taste. My left side hurts terribly. I just feel miserable!!! Am I ever going to be myself again???? I am bored but don't have the energy to do anything ..... Feeling sad and frustrated????

I can relate to things not tasting the same and the lack of energy. I am having a hard time with the artificial sweeteners in the protein drinks. I am using Greek yogurt as my main source of protein now. You will get through this your body needs time to adjust to its new lifestyle. Your mind wants it yesterday, your body will catch up. Stay strong Sam!

Yep i can relate, I am day 17 post RNY. My taste and smell is still not the same and just think it wont return. Nothing i loved before crystal light, coffee flavors nothing is the same. I am finding new tastes slowly. Now plain decaf tea on ice or lemon slices in my Water only TONS of ICE. food agree is harder. I bought sample packs of syntax nectar Protein powder of all 14 flavors and have been working my way thru trying those. The weakness is starting to fade, or i am getting stubborn yesterday i made myself get on treadmill for 15min slow walking. At least it made me feel like i was moving more. Pain in left side, mine was horrible and swelled. It burst last Thursday and had a seroma abscess and was infected deep down. Now it is open and i have to pack it everyday until my one month visit. Yes this could have made things more down for me and it did the first few days, that is when i decided to take control, deal with my journey i chose and get on with it. So i have been pushing hard on mood, movement, and fluid/proteins to move on to next phase. It is all i knew to do with the constant negative happenings.

I'm in the same boat...15 days post RNY. Nothing tastes good. Having to force the protein in.
