They warn you when you have this surgery that your taste buds will like different foods. I took this with a grain of salt. Please how different could my taste buds be??

 HOLY CRAP ….All the protein shakes I had approved PRE surgery now revolt me. I was advised I could eat saltines and even they taste weird!

 I have lost my sweet tooth mostly for chocolate flavored sweets. My chocolate puddings.. yuck, my chocolate protein shakes, blech.  

I tried vanilla yogurt, Greek has twice the protein. I actually liked the Chobani vanilla yogurt after surgery ( I wouldn’t touch it before) , it was not too sweet. So thinking they would all be the same today I tried Stoneyfield farms Oikos today and was nearly ill.. it was sickly sweet to me!

 I then was like, well I can’t eat I might as well try this Gatorade protein drink … Kiwi strawberry recovery drink .. one sip and I knew I would not EVER buy it again.. I couldn’t even swallow it .. it was super sweet….Now I am a woman who normally makes her crystal light too sweet…and I eat popsicles like they are going out of business.

 Luckily I still like eggs and ricotta, and ground meat mixed with spaghetti sauce and ricotta. And peanut butter is still tasty…but I need to find some protein liquid sources and SOON!

 So tonights dinner.. spicy sausage with a little sauce and ricotta blended up … and I had to add salt… like a ridiculous amount.. my tastebuds no longer want sweet they want SALT. And even then I could only have a few bites when my new tummy won out over my tastebuds. (Tummy isn't ready for all that salt!)

 

This is gonna be a fun trip back to eating.

 

I have a vanilla shake to try tomorrow. Everyone cross your fingers!

Success is not an option, its a requirement

Yeah it's the ketosis. Stuff is going to smell and taste weird for awhile. Your SO (significant other) my mention that your breath smells bad. You might notice that you have BO when you never did before.

As long as your are burning fat and in ketotis, you'll notice things are *different*. It won't last forever.

Be happy - it means you're burning fat.
