Is food any good?

I had my surgery Nov. 4th and am wondering if food will ever taste good again. Tomato soup is good but everything else after only a few little bites tastes bad. Maybe its because it all has to be chewed up so much that it's kind of sick by the time you swallow.

I don't know where you are on your post-op diet but once I got off of liquids, foods got easier to tolerate -- once I could taste again.. and chew.. then when I went to soft and all as tolerated, it got better again. Some things I used to love before, I can't stand now.. that's something I don't understand and I don't think I ever will.. but I think over time, our bodies either adjust or we find new things that are pallatable.

hi, i had my open rny on nov. 22nd and believe it or not im on any food i want . I just make sure i chew it up , and dont over eat. I have lost 20 lbs so far and counting . Just make sure whatever you eat ... you really chew it . I have even eaten pinto beans and cheese at taco bell , tonight i had a omlet with ham and veggies in it . Hope this helps trishie

I thought about your post some more last night after I got home.. and it occurred to me that when I take a larger bite and have to chew it up, having all that mush in my mouth does get pretty unappetizing.. maybe try taking baby spoon bites and see if that makes it easier? It'll take way longer to eat.. but it may make food more appealing to you.. Good luck.. I know it will get better but I hope this helps in the meantime. Stef
