Daily Post--2/3/08

I dont think i had a favorite as a pre-op and i dont have a favorite as a post op either. But i do enjoy everything i eat now WAY more then i did pre-op. That was totally unexpected. I think its the fact that i give myself time to enjoy it ...instead of just stuffing myself the way i used to.

My favorite pre-op food was pizza. My favorite post op food is chili. I can get just as satisfied on chili as I could on pizza, but get more of what I need out of the chili. I still eat pizza every once in a while, but I think if I do too much of it...I'll get hooked and be done for! Katy

Hmm...before...if I had to narrow it down...I'd say Italian bread with a crunchy crust and slathered in real butter with chicken and broccoli alfredo on fettuchini. For a dessert a yellow cake with chocolate icing. Now I love oatmeal with a little sugar free blackberry jam stirred in it for breakfast. For dinner I liked grilled chicken with taco seasoning and taco cheese on top.

My favorite pre op food was anything mexican. Post op I still love mexican but can only eat 1 cup at a time. I also love rice pudding now. Walmart sells it. No sugar added, and I love it.

I absolutely loved ice cream... Now my favorite treat is sf popsicles. I have one almost every night and sometimes I'll bring some to work and have one there too. The reason it's changed is that I am scared to death of dumping. I won't even touch processed sugar products or products with high sugar alcohols.

My favorite food pre-op was pizza. Post op, I'm not sure if I have a favorite yet. I'm still trying new things. I really love Lite and Fit Peach Yogurt though.

Oh man, anything Mexican! And still the same post-op. YUM-O!!!

Good grief! This is tough! I have to say that before I LOVED sweets! I used to tease people and say my blood type was the cream filling from a Twinkie! Now...bye bye sugar! I will admit, I have taken a little nibble of something with sugar, and it made me feel AWFUL! I was so happy!!! Go figure??? lol So now I have to say my favorite food is probably beef jerky! I also love seafood even more than I did before. Christy

The pro op fav is a no brainer for me. It was spaghetti and lots of it! Also sour dough bread and herb butter. Now, I would have to say my favorite is vegetable soup, or asparagus. Weird i know. Melinda

I don't really remember pre-op faves - I know I liked cheese enchiladas and ice cream - cake w/chocolate frosting... all the bad stuff that led to morbid obesity... Now my favorite changes every few weeks - but right now, I would say it is probably steak or honey-roasted peanuts. I really don't know why my taste changed so much, other than that maybe not being able to eat certain things for some time makes you feel differently about it?
