Food You Didn't Eat Before Surgery & Are Now Obsessed With

Just like it says... what's a food you didn't eat before surgery that you now love and are obsessed with?

My first one is Light String Cheese! I don't think I ever ate String Cheese pre-surgery and now I have a 2-3 as a snack every other day at least. 3 strings are 150 calories with 18g protein, no carbs, and 7.5g fat. Fun and keeps me full for hours.

Soft boiled eggs. I had never eaten one before surgery. Not sure how I even started eating them, but I think I was looking for egg alternatives because hard boiled and fried eggs (when they're REALLY cooked) can get a little too rubbery and don't go down so easily.

I had a soft boiled egg and I am hooked. Love them!

Most vegetables. As a kid I was force fed and was disgusted by them. I started eating your basic veggies during Pre-Surgery classes. After surgery I am willing to try any and all of them and quite enjoy them.

Sweet bell peppers and sweet cherry tomatoes. And Pink Lady apples. I just love 'em, they are such a treat whereas before I would have turned my nose up at them.

I ate peanut butter before.
But now, I feel like Smeagol whenever I see a container of peanut butter.

I feel you 100%

Rice cakes with chocolate PB2 - a fabulous sweet treat!

Salsa. I never liked it, now I crave it. I used to despise sweet potatoes, now I like them. There are other foods that I used to like, but now I love, like spinach, and foods I used to love, and now I hate, like salmon.

Veggies. I never thought I'd like them, now I just wish I could eat more of them!

YEP but I loved it before too lol

My biggest thing would be YOGURT. Have always hated the sour milk taste and no matter what brand I tried I could not get past it. THEN I found OIKOS Lemon Meringue! Top with sugar free Cool Whip and VOILA it is Dessert for breakfast!

I am obsessed with cottage cheese now. I liked it before, but never bought it or went out of my way to get it... now I eat a half cup to a cup daily.
