Weight Loss MethodSleeve Gastrectomy
|  Tastes changed?
I was a confirmed chocoholic before my sugery and now I cannot stand the stuff....go figure.
I had a sleeve gastrectomy and I can eat sweets (bad, bad, need will power) but to be honest, I do not want them and like I said, chocolate makes me want to retch.
I am craving salty, and tomatoes. I can only guess I am neediing something from these things.
Did any of you have this happen, your tastes change?
Just asking....

I did the same thing - I prefer fruits and fruit flavors much more that chocolate now. I have joking said that I think they do hypnosis while we're under LOL

I loved shell fish before, now it makes me want to gag. I could chow on chocolate, but I'm ok now as well. But if I eat white carbs, please watch out - I loose control. I go in search, like rummaging through cabinets for the stuff.

I used to love the crystal light and the fruit 2/o waters, but since surgery fruity stuff just is not to my liking and crystal light is too sweet. And fried food smell tends to turn my stomach.

I, too, crave meat!! BEEF! The more the better! I wasn't much of a beef eater before surgery. I don't eat it all that much now even. I can 'do' sweets but I don't crave anything like that. I just can't stand the smell of an egg being cooked/fried. I just totally lose it. I used to love to go out to breakfast but can't even do that anymore without getting severe nausea. My doc said it's like being pregnant and having a food/smell aversion, lol.

I was not a fuzzy eater before surgery, but now I have so few foods that I like and it is getting better with time. I loved tunna and any kind of canned fish and now I cannot stand any of that stuff now and just the thought of it makes me gag. So I am sitting here with lots of tunna and I gave almost all my smoked oysters to my son. Sardines I gave to my dad. And as for my yummy VELVETTA CHESSE  i think you got the idea.
Yes have my tastes ever changed for me, but not the chocolate, I do sugarfree candies that have cho. in them. But only limit myself to 3 in one day. But I do not eat them everyday.

I use to love shell fish, even though I am allergic to it. That didn't matter to me at all. As long as I had some benadryl I would eat crabs and shrimp but not anymore. Just the thought of eating either one makes me sick to my stomach. Oh please don't let me forget about fried chicken. I use to love fried chicken but now, I can't get past the smell of food frying. YUK!!!! It's funny how we change.

I can say that my tastes have not changed, still like the same foods as before, don't know it is a good thing or bad, I do try and stay away from anything sweet unless it is sugar free.
