I have taste buds

Good morning

I have my taste buds this morning.  Since surgery on the 4th everything has tasted terrible including water broth popsicles whatever.  This morning I am having a watered down 4 oz of protein shake and it tastes good.  Also I am down 14.5 lbs pre op weight.

Congrats on your loss! It is easier when things taste better.

As you go along, you'll find that lots of foods/drinks don't taste the way they should anymore and that seems to be pretty normal. For me, water is not a good thing anymore...bottled/well/city..you name it and it's gross so for me it's mostly tea and pink lemonade. Foods are definitely different..the taste of rice/bread/pasta (which I have only had once and it was whole wheat paste)...ick. They told me it would be this way but I did't believe them until that first bite...LOL!

So...enjoy what the buds are telling you is good and hopefully you'll have good luck with foods when you're ready for them..just don't hurry it along. I still revert back to week 2 and 3 of my post op diet when things don't go or taste right.

Congrats on the surgery and welcome to the adventure!
