What did you loose your taste for post op?

Awww, lukcy! I like the taste of a little heat but it gives me heartburn now. Sometimes I take home pork duplings from this dumpling house on my block, they taste sooooo good with just a little bit or sriracha on it, but I usually pay for it dearly afterwards.

 That might change for you, as time goes on.

 cheap bread products like factory slice bread, hamburger buns etc.  I've also lost interest in pasta for the most part.  They just don't appeal to me anymore and they taste 'floury' like glue or cardboard.

Artisan breads are different, especially when topped with butter or olive oil.... but I still limit those things to make room for protein, which I crave!

Yeah me too, I always find myself tossing the bun, or removing at least one of the slices of bread from my sanwiches because I just don't like 'em, they don't seem to add much to the meal.

This also reminds me I have a recipe for fo****hia bread with lots of oil and roasted garlic and herbs... I 'm now inspired to make some :)

I used to eat pizza and chinese multiple times a week and now I go months.

Mine are somewhat strange - I lost my taste for pork BBQ. I used to love it and now I can't stand it. I also can't do any tomato sauces as they just seem so strong to me. I unfortunately can't eat cabbage anymore either. I used to love making cabbage rolls with ground beef in them and I can't do cabbage in any form or shape or it comes right back up. I also can't do any type of grilled chicken - I think it's to dry and the taste of it just bothers me.

The strange thing for me though is that I'll find a food that sits well and I'll just go with it obsessively for weeks and sometimes months until I'm over it and then it rotates out for a very long time. I find my taste buds are continuing to change even as far out as I am. I also still can't do milk at all.

Doh, I love stuffed cabbage too. Sorry to hear the cabbage doesn't agree with you anymore. I've been looking around for substitutions myself, a similar item may be a grape leaf- like dolmas. I ran across a lot of dolmas filled with meat and rice, the same as the filling for the larger slavic stuffed cabbage reipes. Granted they will come out much smaller, but who knows, maybe it will stay down? I'd also thought about using rice spring roll wrappers since they're thin, but durable enough to stuff with whatever ingredients you want.

Chocolate, any desserts. I can manage maybe 2 bites of something sweet before it's too much and it tastes horrible. I really do miss enjoying a nice slice of cheesecake, which was one of my favorite things pre-op, but it's nice not liking them at the same time.  I buy those tiny Ben & Jerry ice creams if I have a craving, but I usually only make it 3 bites before I throw the rest away. It's a bummer, lol

Whenever I get a cheesecake craving I mix some lemon zest, vanilla extract, splenda and some ricotta cheese. Tastes like the filling,  but it goes down a lot easier. I ate a lot of that when I was in the mush foods stage.

I lost my taste for bread, pasta, and sweets.  Which is a good thing because all were my downfall!
