I've lost my taste for A LOT!
Chicken
Soft cheeses (ricotta and cottage are among them so sad)
Beef
Coffee
Any type of bread, this includes those Mission low carb wraps
Most broths (although I think it's trauma from having to live off of them LoL)
Eggs (although I'm trying to find ways to eat them because they are such awesome protein)

I know one day I'll probably be ok with eating those things, but for now I'm great without them. I do like things I never did before. Which is awesome.

 I used to love tons of mayo and mustard and now I only like a tiny bit

I've found that mustard, in large amounts, makes my poor tummy hurt. I really love the strong horseradishy mustards.

I have totally lost my love of chicken and tuna. I still think bread would be wonderful, but I eat a few bites and I am done with it.

I can't eat tuny either, I can taste the metal in the fish, I'm not sure if it's the can or just a flavor of the tuna that has always been there before but I never noticed until now.

I lost my taste for leftovers.  Seriously.  The thought of eating something again nauseates me.  And I was raised in a home where we ate leftovers until they were gone - we did not ever waste food.  Now I feel like I waste food all of the time, and it pisse me off, but I just can't bring myself to eat them.  Blah.

Bacon. It's too salty for me. I'm hoping this is just a phase.  I'm going to try some low-sodium bacon to see if I like that better. 

 I am not like I was before. I thought that nothing would change me. ~Sinead O'Connor

 I've lost my taste for many sweet things - milk chocolate, cake, some cookies, most donuts.   I used to adore Indian food - now, not quite as much.   I still crave it from time to time.   Same with pizza.    I don't like ice cream much anymore at all.   It's sweetness is too cloying.    Interestingly though, there are now things I love that I didn't like before my surgery, such as fresh hot peppers (still don't love 'em cooked) like jalapenos and serranos.  Hot foods are much hotter to me now as well.   I crave lime, cilantro, tangy, salty, type of combinations big-time.   

I also get sick of foods easily.    I'll go on a bender for something, and then can't eat it again for a year.

"Hot foods are much hotter to me now"  That really rings true. I am a native Californian, where there are so many hot foods consumed from diverse ethnic recipes that it came as a shock. I had to season my food separately. (or now I make my family or friends add more heat to their tastes) I didn't lose my taste for hot foods. I just find them so much hotter than everyone else!

 That's exactly how I am now Gail - I still love spicy, flavorful foods, but my tastes are far more sensitive now.    My husband is a chef and often wants me to taste and analyze his cooking, because his sense of taste has dulled with age and mine has heightened with my DS!
