Surprises!!!

[I Am Groot 73]

What is something that SURPRISED you during your entire process?

For example - I'm a sugar person, but from the pre-op diet to now (1 month post op), I do not crave anything sweet. I wasn't expecting that at all.

And every one of these foods which in my presurgery were a great comfort, my post- surgery pouch refuses to tolerate.
Greek Yogurt
Cottage cheese
Bananas
Peanut Butter
Why did this happen? Wish I knew a Good Reason, she also hates most meats even chewed down to a fine squishy pulp.

I guess mine's the same as yours. I was a chocoholic. Sweets were my main source of food. But I've been able to avoid them and not crave them now for nearly 5 months post-op.

After losing weight, my knees knocked together in bed and hurt like hell, hard chairs make my tailbone hurt now. I cannot eat much chocolate, somewhat of an aversion to it, hit and miss on reactions to it. I don't miss Pasta or rice at all, only toasted bread is tolerated. I still hiccup, sneeze or my nose runs when I am full.

I used to love chips and salsa at our favorite Mexican restaurant. I tried one small chip last night and the oil or whatever it was cooked in tasted gross!

Surprised that hitting goal was not as exciting as onderland. Weight loss phase was exciting. No more sex and sizzle of seeing the scale move and compliments after goal. It left me questioning what now? I loved being goal oriented.

I guess it's time to establish new goals! Toning? Increase muscle mass, even though I doubt you have much fat% at 130 lbs. By the way - congratulations at reaching your goal weight.
