Taste Buds are Changing!

I thought it would never happen...EVER...NOT chocolate! Before surgery life would be over without my daily bit o chocolate! NOW...it's weird, I like chocolate protein shakes, sometimes. But I tried chocolate sugar free pudding, I loved it before...now, YUCK, doesn't even taste the same! Today, my son had Hershey's...who doesn't like a square of a Hershey bar once in a while??? Well, NOT me anymore, I had to spit it out, it tasted so gross. I thought is this the same mouth that would just let the chocolate melt on my tongue and thoroughly enjoy every last bite??? It can't be, because if it was I would have swallowed that chocolate...then I stopped to think of what else is tasting different...

 

cottage cheese - tasted like styrofoam to me - loved it before!

grapes - could take them or leave them before - NOW...little nuggets of sweetness!

turkey burgers - had one last night, LOVED my turkey burgers before, but I don't know if I am ready for that yet...I hope my love for this comes back!

tomatoes - not always my favorite - but NOW...I have a new LOVE!!! My hubs is sorta jealous of this love affair!!! LOL

ice cream - KILLED my stomach! so NO MORE!

 

I guess what I am trying to say is that NOW...I eat to live, and I am not living to eat! And the choices I am making are way better than what I have ever made, and my taste buds are dancing as I am now putting in my mouth what is GOOD for me!!! It's a great feeling!

    OH NO!!!! I have the same likes and this is bad news! Cottage cheese is now styrofoam - grapes are nahh - not tomatoes? My only hope is that my chocolate premier protein drinks are still OK.

    I don't dare ask about oatmeal or eggs and bananas. As for Ice Cream, I already wrote that one off my preferred list months ago. However; I totally agree with your saying that " I eat to live, and I am not living to eat!" Same here! Have a fantastic week and please post any new favorites that come along....

    I would have traded my love for chips over chocolate any day!!! But of course not, chips...still...taste...good!!! ugh! So I have a couple and I'm done! That's the good part! Tried a piece of steak, a little one, my son was proud of how great it tasted, by the time I chewed the heck out of it, it didn't taste so good...so, no steak for me right now! Ice cream hurts, so I don't eat that, and I'm good with yogurt, not frozen though. I've been staying in the safe zone, and I want to enjoy what I'm eating and tasting, so my choices have been so much better.
