Nausea and different taste buds HELP!



Recommended Posts

Please let me know that this too shall pass!

I had bypass on Jan 16th and now I am having the worst nausea ever! I’m also having an issue with everything tasting nasty! I’m currently taking anti nausea meds but its not working much for me. I’m sooooo sad and frustrated please tell me that this too will pass!

BTW, my surgeon told me it will get better but I’m having my doubts.😞

It will definitely get better. I was sleeved on 10/25/18 and dealt with extreme nausea and taste changes too. One thing I learned to do was drink my Water regardless of how I felt. If Vitamins are bothering you then you can try vitamin patches. Gas, discomfort, nausea, vomiting and irritation are part of the healing process but its worth it. It will get better just hang in there. Oh and please follow the diet take your time.

Taste changes seem to be pretty common. Things taste too sweet, artificial sweeteners taste artificial, milk tastes too milky, my regular tea doesn’t taste the same etc.

I also find that tastes change from day to day and week to week. Things I wa happy. to have in week 1 e.g Powerade zero I have no interest in now.

I developed very bad lactose intolerance about a week after surgery. It went away after a month or two. My smells are still messed up - lots of things smell like popcorn to me for whatever reason - and it's not like I loved or hated it beforehand. I have yet to find a drink that I like the taste of, but I've found that the further out I go, the more the wierdness goes away.

Sometimes I feel like what Pregnant women have told me - their tastes and smells are wacko. Bottom line though, it will pass, just give it time. Work with it and not against it. If "X" doesn't work, then try "Y", but do so very slowly and keep your nutritionist aware of what you are doing because they can be a Huge help. For me, unflavored isolated whea was all I could use to get in Protein during my out-of-nowhere lactose intolerance.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
