So what does fat taste like post op WLS??

Sorry, I haven't been on here for awhile...Busy with work and such.  So I'm sitting here eating cheese, salami, and crackers...Just a little snack.  Even after 6 years post op (RNY) the fat in the salami taste gross.  Ever since surgery, I like very little fat in my food.  Even 2% milk is too rich for me...Just me.  So how would you say the taste of fat has changed post op for you??  Also what % milk to you use??  Brian

Only milk I can do is in my coffee.  If I drink it - not pretty!  

Anything too fatty tends to ride like a ton of bricks.

ETA:  Thinking more about it that little bite of fat on a piece of steak that gets charred, but not burnt, on the grill still taste pretty good.  

Bacon seems to be fine for me now and I was struggling mightly with stuff like it a short while back.

"Fried" foods like wings I have not tried in a long time, they REALLY messed with me 

Taste...yeah I can taste the fat in things like processed foods, but not quite as much as I used to.

I drink milk only in my Latte (which is 80% milk) and I can run full fat (Whole) without issues...

Brian,

Sorry to say that 3.5 yrs post-op RNY I do not have any issues with fat - at least with the volume that I do eat - 2-4 oz bacon or sausage, 4-6 oz of ground beef, beef steak, or lamb.  No issues with whole dairy.  No early or late dumping with simple carbs either.

So, I have to be ever watchful so that I do not slip into bad habits with too much bad food.

But does fat taste different post op??

No, I can't say that it does for me.

Hey Brian...I have found not only does fat taste different, but many foods do. Specifically for fat, it does not taste great so I do what I can not to include it in my diet.
