Changing Tastes: What were the big surprises for you?

For me, it was lemonade. Prior to surgery, Lemonade was a drink that I would choose ONLY if there was no other non-carbonated option, and even then I could only *just* tolerate it.

Post-op: I make crystal light lemonade EVERY SINGLE DAY! I toss in some slices of orange and omg so yum! I literally can't get enough.

What foods/beverages did you love before surgery but after surgery, not so much? And vice versa?

Before surgery I craved bread. I don't anymore. I have maybe one piece a week. Or two pieces, if I have toast w/breakfast. I do not crave sweets, or baked goods the way I used to. The only odd thing that has changed with my eating, is that I cannot tolerate peanuts, or peanut butter anymore. And I used to love peanut butter. I consider it a very small price to pay.

No one should scold you for what you eat. Those are your choices and there is no reason in the world why you shouldn't have whatever you want. The difference between now and pre-surgery is that you can't eat too much of it. So have what you want girl, you are doing great!! You are only a mere 20 lbs from your goal weight and that is awesome!!

HEHEh eww those remind me of children's medicines. Grape flavored anything.
