I was never a fat eater - so fast food and fried food have never tempted me . Sugar yes pre-op , post op I found more than a cookie made me roll on the floor with excruciating stomachaches .

Eight or nine years post op I find myself turning very often to homemade light soups like fat free clam chowder , Tom Ka Gai ( a coconut milk based Thai chicken soup, fat free homemade mushroom or asparagus ? cream ? soup all starting with ( often) homecooked organic chicken and beef stocks . Yes I CAN taste the difference now in organic .

I also grow and use almost daily lettuce, fresh herbs, squash, tomatoes and fruit like raspberries strawberries, morello cherries and plums all grown without a bit of pesticide .

I enjoy and eat almost daily all forms of fat free cheeses and fat free salad dressings including homemade miso.

My fat free milk consumption is still thru the roof but I have no bone weakness as a result and truly enjoy my homemade ice milks made with truvia .

When I do cook or bake with mixes I?ve finally learned to use 1/3 lol so I don?t end up with a stuffed freezer . Baking six cookies or two scones feels normal to me now :)

How have things changed for you ?

My food preference has changed a lot and I'm close to 7 yrs post op

i don't drink milk, I don't like icecream anymore or anything cold.

I don't really care for deli meat it's too salty

i don't like soup anymore

i only eat quiche if it is crustless

when I do eat out I usually get grilled meat and veggies

I try to stay away from bread and food loaded with carbs

I only eat cake for 5 ppl in my immediate family on their bdays so I avoid office parties with carb loaded food and other ppls bday cakes

I no longer crave alcohol I did before my surgery but not anymore

I try to eat food low in sugar and carbs

Pre-op I was all about fast food/take out/all you can eat buffets. Didn't weigh my protein, ate anything mindlessly through out day.

Post-op I cook nearly everything I eat now. I weigh all my protein now. I don't eat sugar or refined carbs now and the majority of my carbs I do eat come from fruits n veggies.

I prefer to know exactly what's in my foods. I avoid all chemical ****storms like artificially low-fat dairy and any kind of mix that comes into a pouch. I can control impurities better by cooking whole foods from scratch. It's a lost art. I even dehydrate and can food myself.
