Has Anyone's Palate Taken A Turn Towards The Bizarre?



Recommended Posts

As I near my goal (4 # from now), I have become fixated on food! I'm not obsessing about the quantity of food I can eat but only the variety, and especially leaning toward the out of the ordinary and even weird stuff . I've started watching all of the food shows on TV, especially those showing the sidewalk food vendors in 3rd world countries selling all kinds of odd stuff, like Zimmern and Bourdain, wishing I was there with them and trying all of the same stuff. My cooking has taken a turn towards preparing appetizers as opposed to meals... small portions of highly seasoned stuff. Although I should be, I'm not concerned in the least about calories or nutritional value because I eat so little as a matter of course. Is anyone else on the same or similar track? I'm really not concerned, I'm just curious.

I also don't measure calories or nutritional info as I eat so little. I find most foods I used to love, just don't sound interesting anymore. I used to love Pasta. The thought of it doesn't turn my stomach or anything, but I just don't see the point in' eating it (if that makes sense). I am very picky flavor wise now, I almost feel empowered, where if I don't like the taste of something I don't feel compelled to finish it. I never did that before. Weird foods have always intrigued me, as a kid we'd go to the highland games, and I loved haggis! I'm almost 7 months out, and down about 90 lbs.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
