Do you find that you no longer like the taste of certain foods? And are there other foods you find you like better?

Just curious, I will post some of my thoughts later.

Yeah, some foods don't taste as good when you have to chew it alot. Wait until you decide to eat popcorn...not good when chewed well, better when you could inhale it.

I had a steak for the first time yesterday. OMG, it really tasted good. Now, mind you, it WAS a good steak. It came with 4 scallops. I couldnt eat them. By the time I had chewed my first bite enough to swallow, I didnt want any more.

I could live without ever eating a steak but don't you dare tell me that the band ruins scallops. Those succulent, sweet, expensive mollusks are in my top 10, perhaps 5 foods.

I bought a pound of sea scallops last night and ate all of them. Once banded, I am hoping to at least enjoy a half pound of them on occasion.

It will be a year on January 21, 2010 so far so good. I am just now starting to experience some side effects: like this burning on the right side of my stomach just below my rib cage. It comes and goes and I believe it may just be some inflamation from pbing and drinking water to fast.

Let me know if anyone has experienced this? thanks:sleep:

Next time you make some scallops, try chewing 30 times per bite. Wasnt a good thing for me.

OnNe thing I've noticed: I'm a texture person and something with the right texture (smooth/creamy) could sucker me into eating way too much pre-band. But now, creamy doesn't ring my chimes??? But when I eat my whole grain carbs, they have to be crunchy... Kelloggs Special K Crackers are my fave at the moment. I religiously count out 17 crackers (equals 90 calories and 1 serving of whole grain carb). For a while, it was a cracker called Crunch Masters, which has a lot of seeds in them but I got over those when I opened the second bag and I got a strong whiff and realized they smelled like the bird seed I feed my parakeets, LOL.

For me, it's not really related to chewing--but yes, there are things that don't ring my bells any more.

Yes, i know exactly what you are talking about. I will put a bite of food in my mouth, and of course it is good the first few chews (I would have normally swallowed at this point) but then I keep chewing and it's like YUK! I think meat is the worst for me especially when I'm chewing and run into gristle....double yuk. I think it's because I chew all the flavoring out and am just stuck with the meat...I shutter just thinking about it.
