I am two weeks post op lap rny. Everything I try and eat either tastes bad or I get full only after a few bites. All fluids that have flavor make me want to puke. Any helpful advice or suggestions?

It is normal that you would get full after just a few bites.  My taste buds were all messed up after surgery as well.  Everything was super sweet. So all the different things I had bought to drink, I had to give away.  Even water grossed me out.  I found that the only thing I could drink and not be disgusted was crystal light. Eventually your taste buds come around and you enjoy things a little more. Hang in there.

This is temporary, just hang in there! Try your water at different temperatures. The only thing I could stand for a couple days was cranberry juice. I did get 'diet' cranberry juice, but seriously for a couple days that is all I could tolerate and it had to be ice cold. After a few days this subsided!

I'm 3 weeks out and every thing is super sweet to me too.  I can't stand crystal light and I used to drink it all the time Pre-op.  I just stick to plain water now which I never liked before but now its ok :)

Hi Gang... I too went through this and it lasted about 2 months.  Just hang in there and your taste will adjust.  There are still a few things that I never returned to liking, but most came back.
