It is not uncommon and I agree with the drinking of Ensure and eating whatever suits you at the moment just to get something in you.
I didn't eat much the first week or two but after that, well unfortunately I haven't had that problem LOL. However, in the first few weeks after surgery when nausea and bad taste is present, I am all for eating whatever you can choke down just in order to keep up some strength and facilitate healing of your body after major surgical trauma.ĭang! Man! Wish it had taken that kind of effect on me! I've lost 13 and can't seem to lose any more than that of the weight I gained 2 years ago when I quit smoking. I know the taste thing is really difficult at first, but hang in there! It does get better! About a heart healthy diet- I totally agree that it is extremely important and try to stick with this type of healthy diet now. I am now 8 weeks post 4xCABG and can eat most things, though there are a few things I liked before surgery that I can't tolerate at all now. The good news is that the bad taste does go away with time! After a couple of weeks I was able to eat a few other things that didn't taste horrible, and then each new week seemed to get a little better.
I finally hit on a few things that I could eat a little bit of- for me it was sherbet and a bit of toast or crackers. It did help when I talked with my doctor and stopped taking pain meds and got on Tylenol instead. Donnie, I feel your pain! I lost 30 pounds, and my wife was really worried about me about a week after surgery because I could only eat a few bites and then felt like I was going to throw up- and sometimes I actually did! Everything I ate tasted like charcoal! My poor wife went to the store multiple times a day and tried tons of different recipes, just hoping she would hit on something that I could eat.
