How have your taste buds changed?

I am just over 1 month post op, and I used to be a coffee freak. I loved the taste of it and couldn't do without it in the morning. Now, I drink about 4 oz. in the morning (that's literally all I can stomach), and I mix the rest with my Protein shake for a little iced mocha action. It thins down the Protein Shake (I used to like them nice and thick, but not anymore) and makes both more palatable.

Spicy foods. I have always loved them, but now they sometimes seem overly spicy. I think that's just my belly telling me I'm not ready for them, though, because they give me bad acid reflux!

And beef. I'm a true Texas girl, and I have always enjoyed brisket. Now, I can't stomach it anymore, but that's probably because my stomach is not ready yet. I'll give it time and try again later.

I used to love sweets - nothing was too sweet for me. I wouldn't eat them a lot, but when I did, I wanted the sweetest thing I could get my hands on. Since surgery, I have not had a single craving for sweets. I thought about indulging myself in chocolate one night, but I changed my mind. I really just didn't want it.

Your taste buds do change. I hated onions and peppers before surgery. Now I love them. I hated fruit now I love it. I try a new food every couple of weeks.

I am 7 weeks post op today. Doing great. Never had pain or the gas pains...so lucky.

I will say my tastebuds have changed. Post surgery I liked Unsweet tea, now does not really have any taste. I wanted to try coffee last week, does not taste good now. Loved lemonade before surgery, now Crystal Light taste different. Before surgery I drank at least two glasses a day. About 529 weeks after surgery I finally was able to drink orange gatorade and it tasted so good. Have switched to the G2. It's better for me (does not taste as good). I drink about half a one a day. Diet Cranberry juice is good.

My doctor told me that this was a possibility.

I'm finding a lot of sweet things aren't as yummy as they used to be, which is good. The oddest thing has been a shift in my Condiments. I used to be all about the ketchup and sweet sweet BBQ Sauce. Now they make me a bit nauseated by themselves. I am now preferring mustard type condiments mixed in.

I didn't care for sweets before the surgery, and now even the thought of biting into a cookie, for example, makes me nauseous. Is it because the surgery, not sure. It could've been from 4 weeks of nothing but "sweet" Protein shakes.

Mine sure did. I stop enjoying

cheese or ground beef oh the texture, dryness. Loved eggs b4 now it's a chore to eat. Salt was too salty and sugars was too sweet but I got over that and now having to many sweets again.

I no longer like things that are super sweet...and some things that were NOT that sweet to me in the past, now are. really weird. Protein shakes in particular. I've become very sensitive to the sweetness level of those...one brand (Lean Body Salted Caramel), i absolutely LOVED during my pre-op diet. Now, i can't even choke one down...too sweet...yuck.

My husband makes the most amazing homemade chicken Soup. He made some when I was in Clear liquids and it tasted so gross. It was like pure liquid chicken fat. He made it a few weeks later (at my request) and it still tasted awful.

I was also a Diet Coke addict for decades. If I could have the stuff fed to me intravenously, I would have been in heaven. Now I'm not even remotely interested or tempted.

Not really at all for me except Protein Shakes gross me out- but that's probably because I am sick to the death of them.

      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?
