I liked salads pre-op, but now I positively crave them constantly...love them!  And I can't say I love Greek yogurt, but they're okay, and I eat them.  I probably wouldn't have eaten that pre-op.  Still working on those protein shakes.

LOL - here is a list of things that made me gag pre-op, but I now love:

onions
cottage cheese
saurkraut
blueberries
coleslaw
bell peppers

So weird how our taste buds change!

Pre op I didn't have a lot of foods that I hated.  The only thing that comes to mind is peas and I still can't stand them, although I love split pea soup.  Go figure.
The only thing I can think of are protein shakes.  With my first surgery I hated them and could only eat them if I used ice cream.  At least it was low carb ice cream but still.
I couldn't wait until I could get all my protein from food and as soon as I could I never touched another shake.
I had the same plan this time but then I realized that it was going to be a long time before I could eat enough food to get in all my protein so I decided to find a way to tolerate them.  Once I started messing around with sugar free syrups, sugar free pudding mixes and those kind of things I learned to love them.

Fruit. I had no interest at all in fruit pre-op, now I love absolutely all of it.

Pre op I did not like coffee but now I am in love with sugar free caramel vanilla coffees, iced or hot, I dream about it even! I do limit myself though so I dont go overboard on the caffine.

Yogurt - i hated it pre-op and hated it for almost a year post-op. Then one day something changed and now I eat Greek Yogurt every day .. go figure!   

On the other hand I seem to have developed allergies to some fresh fruit - specifically apples and cherries.  Very sad.

I can tell you that I USED to be crazy about mashed potatoes!! Now??  They just don't taste good at all.   I can say that I liked vegetable soup before but now  I could have a little every day and I would be happy.
