What are the weird and new foods you like post op?



Recommended Posts

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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
