Hello all, I've noticed my taste bubs are very sensitive to sweet flavor. When I drink my shakes or protein flavor drink example lemonade I find it too sweet so I add more water. Anyone has the same problem? Don't get me wrong, I'm a water person, but once in a blue I like something sweet.

I really noticed that! Apart from the protein powder soups here on bariatricpal Store, every other protein powder I find sickly sweet! I have so easily made a switch to a low carb diet - and to compensate, I am loving things like salad greens! Never been partial to that before!!

I struggled to find a tolerable protein drink and settled on this as my everyday breakfast:

1 shot of coffee, cooled in fridge overnight

6 ice cubes

1 oz milk

20g protein worth Of least sweet possible vanilla protein powder

Blitz in NutriBullet - yum! The coffee sort of mellows out the sweet in the protein powder - this is my everyday starter meal...

Yes
I think everything is too sweet now
Especially the protein shakes and cookies

Yes, as you eat less it seems like taste and smell ramp up. I can smell really well now and strong flavors can be too much. The artificial sweeteners are super sweet, so I had to water down my shakes too.
