The Journey 11/17

Yesterday I could not get this to post! I don't know what was the problem!

What foods do you love now that you didn't eat before your surgery?

I had never eaten cottage cheese before, and I don't know why. Actually, I forget about eating it even now, but when I do, I love it!

I find I like stronger-tasting foods now. I love feta cheese now, and hardly ever ate it before my surgery. I like more spices and sauces.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

One of my favorite post op food is Sushi...I would never ever eat prior to surgery and about 6 months out I woke up and was craving it like something crazy~~ Some very dear friends took us to a very nice Sushi bar and OMG we spent hours there just trying sushi I left there only having bites of all different kinds.  Now I go for sushi once a month!! Like you Lynne I need the stronger taste in food, I swear they did some surgical procedure on my taste buds...LOL

Thanks Mel...now I'll have to go eat sushi in College Station this weekend!

I eat beans now and didn't like them before surgery.  I like pintos, lima beans and navy or great northern beans.  Yummy!

It's cottage cheese for me too.  I have 1/4c almost everyday now, and I love it.

Cucumbers, radishes and Thai Food. I never drank coffee preop, and now I can't live without it. I wasn't a fan of cheese, and now I like to try different varieties (but only mild) with different fruit & nut combinations. I don't know if my tast buds have changed, or I was just willing to step out of the box and try new things since a lot of the things I used to eat previously, I no longer can.

I've tried to like mushrooms, tomato, and celery, and still can't stand any of them.

Things I used to hate, but love now:

onions
bell peppers
cottage cheese
coleslaw
blueberries
sushi

There's a few other things I haven't tried, but am down for it!

Still don't like brussel sprouts, cooked spinach or tomato soup!!

love to eat fruit now, more than ever in my life!

I forget about cottage cheese too! Good flavor,protein and an easy on the pouch food!
