Tastes, they are changing...

I was told my taste would change post surgery and they did a bit right after surgery. Now I'm almost 2 years out and I've had some more changes just recently. My question is this normal and does it keep happening?

what kind of changes do you mean, Liz? I honestly don't remember. well, I got to liking sweet stuff again after awhile (years), sadly!

My tastes have not changes at all, unfortunately.

I'm right behind you at 27 months out. No real taste changes. However, I find if I am eating high protein the craving for carbs goes down significantly (plus I don't have the physical room). I am sensitive to milk and sugar now though. If I eat or drink anything that contains a lot of milk or sugar, I will begin to feel queasy, get an upset stomach, and will ultimately spend time in the bathroom. I'm okay with a moderate amount of anything but there is a fine line with milk/sugar for me. Starches (bread, anything with white flour and/or yeast) = bloat and gas.

Let’s see I used to really like most chocolate, now meh if it’s not good dark chocolate. I used to love fig cookies, they taste funny now. If I wanted ice cream I would go for few stables but now it’s the direct opposite. From chocolate w/nuts to vanilla bean w/fruit.

I treated myself to a bowl of my all time favorite cereal and two bites in I realized I didn’t like it anymore.

Don't think I’m eating a ton of carbs! I just increase to under a 100 a day last month and since then I’ll try a sample of different thing for a treat. I’m still losing and I’m currently 24 pounds below my surgeons lowest weight he thought I “might” hit and 4 pounds below my “wish” goal.

I go on jags where I crave some particular things, and then I suddenly don’t care for it anymore - usually right after I’ve stocked up on whatever it is. Sardines, Welch rarebit, egg drop soup, chicken pot pie ... extras are clogging my storage bins.

Kept hoping I would discover I loved kale but that's not happening!

I think it was last summer - or the one before - I discovered I like chard when it's put into soup. dunno about kale so far but chard is pretty darned healthy. and it's kind of slimy but I got used to that and it tastes excellent.

Swiss chard is really good! Use it in recipes instead of spinach for a change --- yum.
