Tastes have changed significantly



Recommended Posts

Work meetings all week. Today they had a sundae bar. I showed restraint and stayed away. But I craved ice cream all afternoon. This evening I picked up some Halo ice cream and decided to have a couple

Of spoonfuls. I used to love the stuff pre-surgery. Now it's like NO. Tasted so odd and left a strange after taste. Which is great actually. No more ice cream cravings.

Good for you! I experienced the same thing with a mayo-based dip.

I had issues with fish and other meats when I was first able to have meats. They taste normal to me now though. I had to keep trying them because of the need for Protein. Thankfully, you don't need Halo Top. Haha!

I kind wish I had an ice cream kick just so I can try Halo Top. LOL No, not really....so far my tastes haven't changed for anything, but I'm still so early in my walk that I don't know yet, as I haven't tried much or any alternatives. Glad your craving went away, maybe another alternative would suffice if that craving comes back. ;)

I've noticed a change in tastes as well. Everything is much sweeter than before. I assume it has something to do with going cold turkey post op with liquid and soft foods diet. I used to love propel but can't touch the stuff now. Fortunately, I haven't had any cravings since surgery, only 5 weeks out so hope that sticks around.

However, dang there are a lot of food commercials!?!

I've been having that issue with everything I eat. I did the 2 week liquids and was so excited to have real food and now everything's ok the first time, but when I have it again I'm like... no thank you!

      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.
