Foods you no longer enjoy

My husband told me it only took 45 minutes. My Dr. also fixed a hernia while in there. I'm 4 weeks post op and I was able to start adding soft foods at 3 weeks and normal diet as of this past Monday. I do eat, I just don't really enjoy it right now. Maybe when the swelling has gone down.

Oh ok, yeah you're early out. I hope you can enjoy food again. It's so vital to get as much nutrition through food (in time). I couldn't do regular foods till 2 months. I'd stick to softer foods if they easier to eat. There are some good recipes on Pinterest. I suppose when you don't want to eat that's not appealing though. Fingers crossed it gets better for you.

My tastes have changed a lot. There are many foods that I don't like anymore. I was lucky enough to not be interested in Desserts or candy after surgery where I was obsessed with it before. I also like spicy food more now than before but for some, it is the opposite. Unfortunately, I am now lactose intolerant now after surgery as well 🤷🏻‍♀️

I am 9 months out, and my food tolerances and likes/dislikes are still changing. I can no longer eat hot dogs or sausages, they make me nauceous. I used to LOVE pizza, but turn my nose up at it now. Sweet items, I can't eat much of, nor SHOULD I. I told myself from the very beginning that I was not going to 100% cut anything out of my diet, just make better choices. I am making good choices as a whole, but once in a while I allow myself something off of the "diet". It's also about Portion Control. I used to be able to finish off a pint of ice cream. Now, I get Halo Top ice cream and eat a tiny bit, and I am more satisfied.
