Question:
I'm 10 days post op and having a few problems.

I had to go back in the hospital because of dehydration, etc., and now I'm noticing that MOST food tastes terrible!! I've read other posts of similar, but don't understand it. Can anybody tell me if it's permanent or not, or how long it lasts? Also, do any normal food tastes come back? I'm really scared and concerned?? HELP!!!!    — danhait (posted on March 30, 2003)

Ahh congrats your in ketosis. Thats a normal fat burning, your loosing good. Its only temoporary and will go away in a couple months or less. Bad food taste, terrible bad breathe and stinky BO all go along with really fast loss. Drink lots of water and enjoy the fast loss. Trust me your aopopetite ands taste will return and you will be back here missing this honeymoon period.

Hi Dan, I was two weeks post-op on March 28th. I know what you're talking about!!! I don't want food to even be mentioned to me. It all sounds so bad right now. I heard this will pass. I'm trying to concentrate on my water. I'm just taking it one day at a time. If you want to talk, feel free to e-mail me. Maybe we can get each other through it. I'm just glad I'm not the only one going through this. Take care!!
