hi wanda: i had that right after surgery. i thought i had heard it was from the anesthesia - that metallic taste. that went away after about a month. since then, i've been able to eat almost anything that i've tried. i struggle with beef if it's not really juicy (cooked in a crockpot). have to choke down steak and hamburger. and i won't even touch sugar - it's a trigger for me. it might all be in your head, wanda, but i kinda doubt it. keep trying. one day it'll be a problem and the next day it'll be ok. good luck. you're doing really well. hugs dorthe

What a pretty name! I like it! Can't wait to see here. Diana

That was a terrific solution. Sarah

I have a bad time with meat (pork, fish, chicken, turkey) and cheese, they just taste terrible. I haven't eaten beef since my doctor says no beef until 6 months. Since we're all at about the same stage, I'm wondering if other people are having problems with it too? I've been drinking 2 protein shakes daily so I'm getting my protein, veggies and fruit taste better than ever. I always liked meat before my surgery but now it's tastes metallic and sometimes even the smell makes me gag. I used to LOVE cheese now I can't even swallow a bite of it, I can eat an occasional egg but they don't taste really good either. Sometimes I wonder if it's all in my head??? I have my 6 months check up next week, so I'll definitely be asking my doc about it but just wanted some input from you guys too. Wanda 250/173/135

HI Brandy-I too am 'stuck'--but my doctor and nutritionist talked about this at one of our support group meetings a few months ago- they say it happens to everyone at about 6 months post op. They said don't worry, keep doing all the right stuff and then it just 'magically' starts up again in a few weeks. So I'm just trying to keep myself on track (boy that can be hard, when the scales don't cooperate though) and waiting. I can eat more now too- but alot of things doesn't taste good to me -especially meats and cheeses-fruit is yummy and most veggies are good--thank goodness it's summer and I have real tomatoes and cukes from my garden,,,LOL. I've been drinking 2 protein drinks a day for quite a while and then just eating the veggies and fruit. It's been really hot and humid here so my exercise has been limited to using my treadmill for 30 minutes each day and doing some arm exercises with light weights. So hang in there girl with the rest of us-----we're gonna make it--we just need to be patient and keep up the hard work....you're doing great!! Wanda 250/173/135
