???Question of the day???

What was your favorite food? For post-ops has it changed since surgery? I have found that my tastes changed lots. I used to love french fries and can do without them now but can't live post-op without pickles and sauerkraut. NO, I AM NOT PREGNANT!!! Cheryl

Peanut butter. I love my peanut butter. I liked it before surgery, but I just love it now. And cheese. I have to have my daily dose of it. YUMMY Before surgery, I would have to say ice cream. I was a frequent flyer at Dairy Queen to be sure! Of course my kids loved that! But now, I don't even think about it.

am I allowed peanut butter after six weeks? I would love that. What do you put it on> I love a piece of cheese wrapped in a thin slice of deli turkey when I get hungry. That really fills me up,Cindy

You should be able to eat peanut butter. Have it on some crackers! YUMMY I didn't try it with bread for a looooong time. Breads don't do well in the pouch at first. Now I can eat 1/2 a peanut butter sandwhich on one piece of whole wheat bread. But for now just slap it on a saltine or graham cracker. That's the bomb. I eat that at work when I don't have much time to get a snack in. Quick, easy. OOOOH cheese with turkey...yummy. I do that too. I also dip it in a little bit of fat free ranch dressing too. mmmmm Have you tried mozarella cheese sticks? (string cheese) the lunch meat wraps around that really nicely.

Although I haven't had surgery yet, still waiting on the date , my current favorite is...spinach! My kids think I am gross , but I just love it - especially in Wedding Soup or with Balsamic Vinaigrette! Pam

Good question. My favorite is cottage cheese... plain or with some diced peaches in it. Thank goodness it's something with some protein in it. lol Cindy

Ok pre surgery I loved frisches and white castles. Big boys,onion rings and a big diet coke to keep the calories down , and now I to love cottage with fruit. I can get food down in the day now but not at night so I am going to drink a shake for dinner like Jack said. Thanks Jack. Cindy

My surgery date is October 8, but I had my gallbladder out 2 weeks ago after a sever gallblader attack. I loved frenchfries and chicken fingers before, but since they took out my gallbladder I can't stand the thought of anything fried (which is a good thing). I'm hoping this change in eating behavior is preparing me for gbs. Shellee

Very good question. My new favorite food is broiled fish. I like talapia, or orange roughy. I was not a great fish eater before surgery. But after surgery fish is the one thing that sits well in my stomach and wow the protein. Lets not even talk before surgery, anything loaded with calories and salt was on my favorite list then.

Chocolate, chocolate and more chocolate! And anything salty. Kathy
