Poll: Do you have a "WFT"?

Oh this is a good one!

Pre-op I ate anything!

Post-op:

LOVE burnt and cold food
CRAVE, like mouthwater and everything: Raw Cauliflower and Fugi Apples

Speaking of chicken crud-----how about cake scum? That delish film left on the pan or platter under the cake, so yummy!

OMG - cake scum!!!  Yes!!!  That was one of my favorite pre-op treats.  LOL

 I love that term. And love you for introducing me to it!

Yes, I love that stuff too!

And of course there is bowl lickins. When I make SF cheesecake USUALLY I give my batter bowl to the kids. Usually.

I want to put butter on several things.  I don't like butter!!  Well, I didn't before anyway.  I try to limit it to a tiny bit on cooked veggies.  It has to be cold, straight from the fridge too.

Before surgery I LOVED ketchup... on hotdogs, meatloaf, fish, in my baked beans, made my ham BBQ with it, french fries, home fries, hash browns and even mashed potatoes... the last few times I tried it I didn't liek it at all.

Mayonaise - loved it preop and couldn't stand Miracle Whip. Now I like the MW better but not a big fan of either really. Would rather eat a pickle in my lettuce, meat and cheese sandwich (can't eat bread cuz it doesn't go down).

Someone else mentioned liking bread with real butter and sugar spinkled... MMmmm - me too! I also loved slathering real butter on bread and frying it in the skillet till it was all brown and bubbly... then sprinkling sugar on it. Wait - who am I kidding... I SPOONED it on... ROFL!

Loved scrambled eggs before surgery - can't eat them now.

Since surgery I CRAVE salads. I have to have them often... I like those really busy ones with like 10 different veggies, meat and cheese. I guess this is a good thing really!

Since surgery I also developed this coffee craving. I enjoyed a cup every now and then but now I NEED my cup every day!

I wonder if we like our food cold now because we got used to eating it that way? I know my meal is always cold before I fini**** since surgery. I recently got this cool hotplate thingy off Ebay that has a marble tile in the center. You microwave it for 2 minutes and it is supposed to keep your food hot for an hour.

I have not lost my desire for sweets but I am MUCH pickier now... life is too short and da pouch is too small to each cheap desserts! LOL... I have to really be careful though because sugar, especially right after a meal, makes me nauseous.

Nik - great question!

 I don't know enough about my post-op food tastes, but so far, my major pre-op food tastes have carried over.

I don't like cold food--especially meat.  I want it all warm, if not hot.
I prefer simple flavors:  vanilla with nothing; chocolate with nothing; plain salted potato chips.
I don't like most pre-packaged sweets.  I taste the chemicals in them.  Grocery store sweets use the wrong kind of fat and sugar (as far as I'm concerned).  
I don't like soup.  
I will eat no butter substitutes.  
I don't like dill (unless it's a kosher pickle once in a great while).

Honestly, I don't know how I got so picky.  It's not like I didn't grow up eating Campbell's soup and Hostess cupcakes.  Our house had LandOLakes Margerine (which my grandfather actually used to make back in the day).   

Pre-op I loved Nacho flavored doritos with oreos
I also love burnt bread

Post-op I haven't discovered any new weird things yet.

 Pre op... Loved mayonnaise ( best foods/ Helmans) now, not so much.
Pre op... Hated potato salad ( best foods/Helmans) today I had to make 10 pounds of it for my nieces 8th grade graduation party ..... DAMN is it good! Can't figure it out lol. Also.. Never had apples and PB before surgery now I love it. And.... WATERMELON!!!! OMG WATERMELON!!! Ohhh and fresh pineapple.. Good lord why can't they have protein??
