I'm nearly a year post-op and I have found my tastes getting pickier and picker each month. I have NEVER been a picky eater...heck, I have eaten things some people might turn their nose up to. But now it seems if something doesn't taste great then I don't eat it. Unfortunately I've developed somewhat of an aversion to certain meats, mostly ground turkey, some fish and some chicken depending on how it is prepared.
It's especially bad if I cook the meal myself because I smell the raw meat and it completely takes my appetite away. The only meats that don't completely gross me out to cook with are pork and beef. In fact I made a huge pot of my ground turkey chili for dinner tonight and I had to take it outside because the smell was making my stomach turn. Not eating ground turkey anymore...
Now don't get me wrong. Although I have many friends who are vegetarian I am not looking to become one. I still love most meat, especially if I don't cook it myself. Yesterday I had some raw tuna wrapped in cucumber along with chicken and shrimp cooked on a hibachi grill. Yum! My diet could be considered mostly Paleo. But I've never really had this issue before and was curious if anyone else has?
