What foods do you no longer like?

I've heard there are foods that VSGers used to like but sometimes their tastes change after surgery and they don't like anymore. Just wondering which ones they are for some people?!

The only taste change for me was that I dont care for sweet things any more. They tend to be TOO sweet now. Other than that, I still enjoy the taste of all the other foods.

I have not had any changes as to what I like. Only the amount that I can eat. Of course I have not had any bread, pasta, rice or sugar since my surgery so I dont know if I still like those things. (pretty sure I will) I always heard that was more for the Bypass patients.

Can't stand chicken breast anymore haven't tried other parts of the chicken but as for now I can't stand grilled or baked chicken breast.

I still LOVE EVERYTHING about food... There is nothing I don't like now... but since surgery I LOVE Frank's Red Hot sauce. Used to be a bottle of that would last me years.. but went through a bottle in 6 weeks! Now I finally understand their tag line.

i no longer can eat peanut butter, eggs, string cheese, bread, salmon, and rice

There are things that I can't tolerate any longer, but nothing that I don't like because of a change in tastes. If anything I like more things now. Before I never liked spicy foods, now I can't have enough spice!

Eggs used to be my favorite thing to eat for breakfast lunch and dinner and while I was on an all liquid diet right after surgery I couldn't wait to finally eat eggs again. But I think I've eaten 2 eggs in the past 2 months and the thought of them kinda grosses me out. When I ate them they tasted normal and delicious but I don't think I will try them again. At least not for a while

Food in general. I get hungry but nothing sounds good. I just do whatever protein, then I'm full and move on to something else to do besides eat.

Peanut butter makes me nauseous now and so does the smell of coffee.

Twix. Never in my life have I not liked Twix but I had some and it was not at all good. My best friend congratulated me on not liking Twix anymore and it is a relief to check another temptation off the list. But still...Twix. I used to love Twix.

Canned spinach!!! Oh wait a minute I hated that before too.... :P

Nothing, everything still tastes good. :D

Hamburger meat. I used to love a good hamburger, but now even at 4+ months out even a bite or two of a hamburger or anything made with ground hamburger makes me queasy. It's not the loss that I thought it would be though... When you don't like it, it's easy to just not have it!

It's not that I don't like it, I was just very disappointed when I had it for the first time post op- pizza. I was so excited to be able to eat some and so we ordered my fav. When I bit into it it was- just blah. I ate the toppings instead.

I've really not had bread, pasta or rice since my surgery. I've cut our quinoa as well. I really don't care for soup anymore.
