I have this new Breakfast I eat that I think is weird.. but I love it.

I mix low fat sour cream with no sugar added ketchup, and drop a spoonful over a sunny side up egg. My husband is horrified by the look of it. :P

I also now like bacon (if high quality like butters block), in small amounts. Never liked it before.

I can now tolerate spicier foods, whereas before I hated anything spicy. And I'm from El Paso, lol.

What are some of your post-op new food loves?

I know like cottage cheese with salt and pepper. I know that's not real weird but I never could stand the site of it before.

It's not a weird food but I used to absolutely loathe eggs -- just the smell of them made me nauseated -- and now I love eggs.

Other than that, my tastes have stayed pretty much the same.

I guess one other thing isn't so much taste changing but a different focus -- I always liked sardines, but didn't eat them terribly often. Now I consider them a verging-on-perfect food (calcium, Iron, Protein, healthy Omega acids, plus low calorie!) and eat them almost every day.

ETA my favorite dinner combines sardines & eggs, which I guess some people would think is weird! I basically mash up sardines with some avocado or kale, mix in some sauce (like curry sauce or bbq sauce) and bake in the oven with an egg on top. People do tend to look at me strangely when I start raving about my sardine kale egg bake.

Plain greek yogurt.... Hated it before and now love it and have it at least once a day.

I used to love tea... I drank buckets of it daily and hated it afterwards. Even the smell turned my stomach. I have had a couple of cups recently but its not the same.

Now that IS weird seeing as I am Enlish and we are born with a cup of tea in hand lol :P

I have been looking for new ways to spice up cottage cheese. I like it now just as before surgery, but it can get boring!

I'm kind off the opposite- I loved coffee pre surgery, now I kinda like it but not nearly s much. I love tea now!!

Also, I used to be a huge lover of red wine. I took a sip the other day and didn't like it. Cant believe that!

Same here. It was so unappealing before. Now it's becoming a staple. If strange colors don't bother you, you might want to try it with a little hot sauce instead of black pepper.

Nothing. I don't like anything anymore! It's crazy. It helps because I don't overeat. The only food I enjoy post op is a taco salad. I've tried so many things. Even my favorite things pre surgery, taste gross to me now.

I can't say that I like this and that is fine but I eat Greek yogurt now. Cottage cheese and a tbsp of sugar free apricot jam is pretty darn good.

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
