I LOVE tomatoes, I used to eat them with every meal----and now, something is weird about the taste of them. I heard this can happen. Has this happened to anyone else since surgery? Are some foods tasting different to you now?

YES! CAN'T EAT SHRIMP (WHICH I LOVED) ANY HOT BREAKFAST CEREALS LIKE OATMEAL, GRITS, MALTO MEAL, AND ANY BREADS.

BECAUSE OF FOOD TASTING DIFFERENT, I AM LIMITED IN THE THINGS THAT I CAN EAT. TALK WITH MY DOCTOR SHE SAID IT SOMETIMES HAPPENS, BUT AS LONG AS I GET MY PROTEINS IN I WOULD BE OK. SHE SAID TO TRY LATER TO SEE IF I COULD EAT THEM AT A LATER DATE.

With the band I had, no taste change at all.... now with the bypass, YES it sure did change alot of tastes for me!

246 in Dec 2008 before banded 1/28/09 at 215 lbs, band crapped 9/09 at 170 lbs and struggled with it and regained to 203 revised to bypass on 8/1/11 and am very happy.

No taste change here. I still want and crave the wrong things. The difference is I now don't give into the craving every time.

In my last year or so of banded life, many foods just didn't taste the same. I even thought that the recipes for some old standbys (like Wheat Thins or Triscuits) had been changed because they tasted so blah to me. But when I had a complete unfill in February, all those foods started tasting wonderful again. Very strange!

The only thing that changed was the BC butter and herb instant potatos. Nothing else. Strange huh?

Some of the things I have given up, like soda, taste really bad to me now. I am very thankful of that! The only other thing I have tried that I really like that I don't like now is cole slaw.
