Yes, I use to love canned tuna, can't stand it now. Foods that have heavier (cream based versus tomato) sauces don't taste good to me anymore

Same here with the canned tuna not tasting good anymore. I was so excited because it was allowed on the puréed part of my postop diet, but it did not taste good at all anymore no matter what I did to it. Thankfully chicken salad does taste ok, I just had to cook the chicken myself and not use the canned. The little liquid things of crystal light don't taste good anymore either. I'm still slowly adding in foods so I'm sure I'll find some more things that don't taste the same as I go along. I'm hoping that it's temporary, but I'll be ok if it isn't. I've read on here and other places that you have to wait and try them again later before you really know for sure.

Anything sweet is too sweet now. Even stevia or the sugar free popcicles. Sweets used to be my weekness but now at almost 8 weeks post op, I don't have most things that are sweet anymore. Everything else seems like the flavor of foods is enhanced.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
