Why does the taste of sugar not bother me and I’m 15 months out?

What do you mean it doesn’t bother you?

Like the CO2 make me sick and nauseous. I stop drinking sodas July 1st 2017. I have the gastric sleeve August 17th 2017, I tried drinking a ginger ale a couple times but it hurts my chest so I’ve avoided anything with the fizz in it, but I can tolerate sweets from time to time and it doesn’t make me sick. I’m in a support group where I live and some say the sugary candy makes them sick.

Which surgery did you do? From what I understand Bypass patients are more likely to have that problem. Even then though, it seems like a crap shoot and the dice land differently for everybody. I think you just got lucky/unlucky depending on how you feel about it.

Gastric sleeve. I’m really struggling with it. I wish I lost the taste for anything sweet. I’ve come so far and that’s my biggest fear.

You may still yet lose it. I've heard a lot of people say their tastes change and my nutritionist says that it often comes after a couple of months when the taste buds change. So try not to worry. Right now focus on protein and water. I've had a couple hard candies since surgery and they seem to sate my sweet tooth. Before surgery I'd need to down a half a batch of brownies to do it in. So, even if you do eat some sweets, maybe the new moderation will do the trick.

Yes. It doesn’t bother me either.

Unfortunately the onus is on us to follow a proper diet and exercise to continue to lose weight. Just like before surgery.

The good news is after losing a large amount of weight it’s easier to stay on track.

Yes it is up to us! Dang it ?? my nutritionist said if I can do 7 weeks liquid diet pre op on my own ( phenomenal) I can do anything. This was my 3rd attempt at weight loss surgery so I was afraid I would wake up in recovery again and be the same me when I woke up. Now that I have the surgery, I have a hard time sometimes especially when I feel depressed but I’m working on it. I went from 610lbs July 1 to 575 August 17,2017 surgery day til now just 460. And I could be more but I haven’t exercised due to 2 herniated disks, bulging disk in my back and my knees are shot! But I’m no longer on my scooter and shop and do things that I could do before. So I know I don’t wanna go back! That’s not an option!

Woo Shawana, you're a freakin rock star. You've got this. No doubt in my mind.
