I have always had a very sweet tooth but after my RNY, I'm finding things are too sweet. I had a weightwatchers apricot yoghurt and it was sickly by the time I got half way.... x

No, not in my case.

food tastes as it did before surgery ... I'm just better at avoiding trigger foods now.

Are you asking because you're experiencing this or just asking in general? Are you pre or post op? If post-op it's common to go through a phase of things tasting different. A lot of flavors I loved in my Protein powders, yogurts, and Crystal Light drinks tasted terrible for a few weeks after surgery. It was truly bizarre. As I transitioned through the phases and was able to introduce more foods back into my diet things started to get back to normal.

That being said there are a handful of things I don’t like the taste of anymore. I used to love Miracle Whip over regular mayo. Now I can’t stand Miracle Whip. It comes off with a chemical taste now and don’t enjoy it at all.

Thank you. I’m hoping that it changes back soon. Wondering what I won’t like

It will, don't worry. Honestly there is very little that comes to mind that I don't enjoy. It has more to do with what the food is rather than the taste of it. Heavily fried foods are not enjoyable at all for me, but I'm okay with that! I tried some Chinese food from a local joint about two months ago and I didn't like it as I did before. Wasn't the taste but how it made me feel afterwards. Haven't had it since and no desire to.

I attribute part of it to getting rid of other things that used to be in my diet. The same thing tends to happen when you quit smoking. Things start to taste/smell differently once you kick the habit.

Oh my gosh yes! I don't like anything I used to anymore. Very few foods I find enjoyable these days and I hope it gets back to normal.

food *tastes* the same...but my preferences have changed significantly.

Also, food does not offer the same "relief" that it used to offer. Not sure that makes sense, but the "drug of choice" effect of food is missing, somehow. It's bittersweet. You're glad it's gone, because you know food shouldn't be a coping mechanism....but you're also going....what in the hell do I do for a coping mechanism now? it's disconcerting.

I'm with creekimp on this, yeah.

Stuff tastes the same, but what I get out of it is different. And yep, that changes what I am interested in having.

That warm feeling of contentment when I would have heavy carbs--potatoes, Cereal, pasta--is gone. It just feels like loading my stomach with wet concrete. Not sure if I'll ever enjoy that stuff again.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
