Taste Buds: Does your taste for food come back?

Hello! I had my Whipple June, 2024. I can tell you that my appetite is not what it used to be pre-Whipple. These days, I enjoy eating mostly neutral tasting foods like chicken soup, rice, fish (baked), vanilla yogurt and also cottage cheese. I don't do well with vegetables that have high fiber or cellulose skins like corn. I boil my green beans and beets. Breakfast is my largest meal with yogurt and a slice of home made bread. I can then go for many hours without getting hungry and will then have a snack or small meal for lunch. I don't crave greasy meats or foods at all. All in all, my appetite and also foods choices and taste have changed post Whipple in a way for the better for I am staying at a healthier weight than pre-Whipple. I am also taking 24,000 units of Creon with my dinner that has helped me tremendously with digestive gas.

Thank you for the reply.

I do not crave processed foods, greasy foods or anything like that now as well.

Maybe I will boil my veggies so I can eat more. They seem to do well with me in small doses.

I’ve gotten used to eating small portions which is nice.

I do feel healthier now.

I’m not on digestive enzymes yet.
My bile duct just got ballooning to make it wider as it was really narrow due to scarring from the whipple.

Best of luck to you and your journey going forward.

Take care 🧸
