What food did you crave pre DS n can't stand now ?

[keliblue]

I was a two a day Mc D's Suasage McMuffin.. they're totally gross to me now

[sherbearmama]

Believe it or not, I used to LOVE bacon and since my surgery, I can't stand it.

[freckled1]

I have become extremely picky about cake, pasta, and bread. 9 out of 10 times I will spoon the frosting off the cake. I don't eat pasta unless I can't get ahold of the cheesy goodness before it's mixed with the noodles. I also hardly ever eat bread. I just don't really care about it anymore.

Pre-op I ate all those things any and every time they were presented to me. I mean really, what fat woman doesn't like cake? Apparently, me! I just wasn't paying attention.

A lot of things like this. I used to love Burger King's sausage biscuits. Now they're just ... blah. Now I find that lots of fast food meat is too salty and tastes like cardboard. I never ate a lot of it before but I pretty much never eat it now.

Exactly !! everything is so salty to me now

[bldeck]

I am the opposite. Couldn't stand half-n-half in anything if a recipe called for it I switched to full cream or milk. Now I can't go a day without my protein shake using half-n-half.

Fast Food. I use to live and breath for McDonalds, etc. Now the only fast food I can stand is Roasted Chicken Bites from Bojangles.

[imissthe80s]

This is very interesting to me as a pre-op and is something I'll have to experience to understand, I guess. I'm really curious how my tastes will change.

[Deleted]

I have far less interest in sweet stuff than I used to have. And I am an absolute fiend about the quality of my chocolate, whereas before I could be persuaded to settle for cheap crap.

[karenflorida]

Eggs are tough for me. I used to love them, and now I have to choke them down. Not sure why!

Anything extra salty or sweet is a turn off now. Which is great because neither is good for me. If I have candy, it has to be the best. I never craved wine and beer but enjoyed them sometimes. Now I don't enjoy them at all. Again, a good thing. At over two years out, I don't think that the DS has that much effect on my tastes anymore.

[Deleted]

Like others, fast food doesn't appeal as much. I still eat a lot of Chipotle and Taco Time but mostly because they are fairly fresh and not as processed.

The thing I used to eat a lot of before was pizza. Now, I like pizza still but rarely eat it because I can't eat that much and it's just a wasted effort! I miss being able to eat a lot of food (sometimes) and pizza falls into that category. One tiny piece is just .. not mentally satisfying.

[shann_ds]

Fast food for sure, just tastes gross. Also pizza & Kraft mac&cheese.

[Sandra C.]

Yes, bacon, pre prepared chicken meat balls, cheddar cheese- all too salty. Sweets too intense to enjoy. My taste buds must be on high alert post surgery!!

Oy, yes, everything tastes salty. I can't get down the packaged deli meat I bought, and the bacon is unopened. I also can't eat reheated protein - it has to be made fresh, and I used to love cooking in batches, eating something a few days, freezing some. I'm nearing 6 weeks out, so it's too soon to really tell, but now I'm wondering how much of this will actually stick. Guess I'll find out!

[kingy]

Puff pastry, used to use it when I made quiches etc now I can't stand it, so it's frittatas for me. On the other side, I used to hate sesame seeds now I love them.. go figure.

[scoob]

Fast food is mostly not worth my time. I don't eat white flour and lets face it, that's what fast food is. I do, rarely order a baconator with no bun or a whopper with cheese no bun. RARELY! Pizza is not worth it. Again, white flour.

Like sheri says, I loved bacon preop. I can take it or leave it now. I still like it but I don't love it. I buy maybe a pound a month, MAYBE!

Milk. Only in cereal. Also, it has to be whole milk even then!

[sheanie]

Used to LIVE for my own home-made bread (cinnamon rolls, etc), McDonald's fountain coke, and Little Caesar's Crazy Bread. Can't even be tempted with those now, absolutely no zing in them for me anymore.

What I really love is my Fuzzy Navel protein (Isopure) before bed. Oh, and anything BACON or CHEESE. And I am now a chocolate snob. Can't be bothered by unbranded or Hershey's. It's got to be Godiva, Nutella or Dove. My "real estate" is too valuable to waste it on the cheap crap.

[stacee]

I loved hash browns and french fries, now I can taste the oil they fry it in. Alot of what I ate before is now too salty for me.

Lol, I can taste "dirty" oil, the beginning of the month its clean oil no weird taste... but I am all for good oil tastes...like trucker potatoes or eggs fried in bacon grease ;D I just got pickier about my fried foods

[callmeEJ]

Pasta, rice, and potato chips. Used to love these things pre-surgery, now they're just too starchy for me to eat.

I concur. Not just on chocolate (but FOR SURE!!), I also am just pickier about my food in general. If it isn't quality, I am unlikely to eat it.

[beth28]

Cake, definately cake.

Ditto.

Although, I will say, I'm a dyed in the wool Carnivore & Mayo-vore, so if that changes, I'm in T-R-O-U-B-L-E!

Buffalo Chicken Wings. As a pre-op, I loved them and longed for the day when I got my DS and could eat them guilt-free. Now, I absolutely cannot stand the taste.

[vangy04]

For almost a year after surgery I wouldn't touch bacon. Every time I tasted a bite, all I could taste was SALT (I haven't eaten with salt since my dad had his first heart attack in 2000).

Then I discovered LOW SODIUM BACON and it was love.

[bugirll]

I havent had my surgery yet but I hope I start liking tomatoes after. Tomatoes are in everything and I really want to like them. I really hate that I hate them.

[beth28]

I loved tomatoes and tomato soup before surgery. I can't tolerate them very well yet at 8 weeks out. I hope that changes!

[Fade2Pink]

I am prone to throw away food that just isn't tasting really good, etc. I would never do that pre-op (well, rarily). I also don't have any desire for left overs. They just turn me off. One thing I have had to learn to do is eat my meals cold, like eggs, for instance. Before I couldn't/wouldn't eat a cold egg. Now I pretty much have to, because I eat so slow. I guess we all adapt.
