Hi Everyone,

I absolutely hate raw tomatoes. I detest them. I'm wondering if someone has detested a food before surgery and really fell in love with it afterwards?

Thanks !

I love to try new food. I'm more adventurous these days. Many things that would turn me away in the past I now love.

Eggplant Parmesan

Portobello Mushroom pizzza

Slice of pare, blue cheese topped with a caramelized pecan

Crisp Prosciutto wrapped around asparagus

egg whites, spinach with cherry tomatoes

Guess I never tried to find out. Like Jen, I've tried (and liked) a lot of new foods, but never tried the stuff I know I don't like. I still like the things I always did, so I assume I'll still dislike the other stuff.

eggs! I absolutely hated eggs before surgery and now I love them and eat an egg almost every day.

Buffle ! That's so funny and cool Even though I hate raw tomatoes I still try them periodically. I'm hoping my taste buds likes them afterwards. It would make me laugh. My husband periodically will chase me around the house with a raw tomato lol

Thanks everyone for answering this !

@jenn1 Those sounds great ! it's so exciting to see what you're going to like and not like and what new foods you might be able to incorporate. On the flip side it's a tad scary to lose some of your favorites too. What a whole new world !

Thanks !!

Greek yogurt. It was awful pre-surgery. Even the fruity ones. Now, I like it and don't like regular yogurt as much.

I asked this same question before my surgery. As a really picky eater, it would make my life so much easier if I could like more foods...including tomatoes! Oh my gosh, the world is not made for tomato haters. And I'm really not a vegetable fan. I'm just getting to the real foods phase so I haven't tried all those but I don't have a whole lot of hope. Although, like Forsythia, I can now tolerate Greek yogurt whereas before, I couldn't so maybe it will get better.

Roasted vegetables, beets, peanut butter, ham, shrimp...didn't detest them before but wouldn't seek them out.

Wow !!! So interesting. Are you enjoying finding out what foods you like and what you don't? Being pre op I'm kind of excited about that. !

I didn't like salads before, but now I have at least 3 a week. They taste fantastic with a little ranch dressing. Of course, I put in a few bacon bits, hard boiled egg and cheese to give them a bit more Protein, and use raw spinach instead of lettuce.

I don't care much for breads anymore, and before surgery, I would have bread almost 3 times a day. I've also for the most part given up anything fried.
