My fear was I would never be able to enjoy this again. I went and got the meal, had to take all the good veg off my burger for space, able to eat about 3/4 of it and was completely disgusted. Fries were just ok, only able to eat a couple. Chocolate shake was put in the freezer and forgotten about. No feel-goods from it anymore, it was just meh to eat. I don't miss it like I thought I would.

I was addicted to my morning cup of black coffee from McDonald's. Seven days a week a large black coffee. I couldn't wait to have some so ordered a small one day and it was so gross I wasn't able to finish it. At least now I know this is something I can live without going forward. I would love to hear more stories of food taste changes post surgery. I was told this would happen and I find it fascinating.

I did kind of the same thing a couple months out from my surgery. My favorite food in the whole world pre-op was Red Baron 4 Cheese Pizza. I would easily eat a whole one in a sitting and did so about once a week when I wasn't dieting. Well, I tried to eat some of one maybe 2 months post-op? I finished one whole slice and the cheese off the top of a second slice. Felt SOOOOOO sick and overfull and I haven't bothered again since then. Didn't even eat the leftovers from that first one. They went in the trash after sitting in the fridge for about two weeks. Back then I was a little sad that I couldn't enjoy my favorite food anymore, but now I am totally over it.

Isn't it interesting what we are learning about ourselves post surgery and as we adjust to life with a new tummy?

I was afraid that my tastes would change and that maybe I wouldn't like my powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein shakes anymore, or that spicy Chinese food would not taste good or that my new tummy wouldn't like it, or that I couldn't enjoy my favorite salads anymore. Fortunately for me, I still like my Unjury shakes, spicy Chinese (NO rice) does not upset my tummy and I can eat my favorite salads although it takes me at least 2 meals to eat a whole one (i.e. strawberry fields from Wendy's). Of course, with any solid foods my typical serving size is about 1/2 cup (yes, I measure), and a few things a little bit more. Still learning to navigate some of the portions/boundaries. Definitely a learning process. Sometimes just two bites of something is all that is needed to satisfy my taste for a particular food.
