I saw Ruby (the lady that has her own reality show about losing weight) in an interview talking about how her palate has changed since she was doing the pre-made food program. She says she craves fish.

I also have noticed the same thing. When I go to a restaurant, I order fish because that's what I want, not because that is what is the most healthy. I literally want fish every day. Most of my cravings are for healthy things. I won't talk about chocolate, though - that will never go away.

No, honestly for me, no. My motivation has changed. Now I try to pick foods that will keep me full longer as opposed to those that don't. But I still like the same old food I ever did. I could pretend I have changed, but if I'm honest, not a bit. That's ok, though....I have the band and that's the important change. I believe now that I can lose and KEEP it OFF. I know I can't overeat like I could. So I have changed a good deal, but my "tastes" are as they have always been.

I think I'm more picky. I will only put the best foods, the best ingredient in my mouth (most days, anyway!). If I'm going to eat something, I make sure it's something that I absolutely love. We eat so little now, why do it on food that is just..meh.

I will have to agree that my palate has changed. It's not that I crave different things, it's that some of the foods I used to eat don't taste the same anymore. I find some of the ones that contain high fructose corn syrup taste funny and feel funny on my tongue.

I only know this because I snuck a bite of a hostess chocolate donut. It was really nasty. Too sweet and felt like it coated the roof of my mouth and my tongue.

But I think that has more to do with my after-surgery complications (ulcer erupted) and the meds I'm now on for it.

But whatever it is, it's enough to keep me away from all my old "weaknesses"!

I won't talk about chocolate, though - that will never go away.

How about dark chocolate? That is how I satisfy that urge. I include two dove-mini-dark chocolates in my bag every day. One for 10am and one for 2pm.

I satisfy my choclate urges with Viactive Calcium Chews. Fortunately, that does the trick for me.

Some foods don't taste the same to me anymore - especially those I used to binge on - chips, doughnuts. While I think some things truly do taste different to me, I also think part of it is the relationship I had with those foods- maybe it wasn't so much the food that I liked, but being able to sit down and eat a huge quantity of it to comfort myself?? I can eat 3 potato chips and it does nothing for me now. In the past I would have wanted to devour most of a bag. Whatever it is, it keeps me away from those things for the most part - although to be honest I still find myself trying my "old favorites" once in a while, but usually am disappointed by the taste and don't eat much of them.

I crave green beans all the time, not sure why. I never used to eat them in the past, now I rather eat them for dinner or lunch. I have also tried some of my old favorite's and you are right I don't get the same satifaction out of it like I used to.

I really don't even care to eat most of the time. Since I am struggling just to eat I don't even care about food anymore.

My tastes have definitely changed. The thought of fast food repulses me now. I tried to eat part of a fast food hamburger the other day and just could not do it. It was disgusting, plus it hurt.

I am on the green bean kick too! Don't know why...I always liked them, but could take them or leave them. Now..YUM!

I really don't even care to eat most of the time. Since I am struggling just to eat I don't even care about food anymore.

Right there with ya! Especially after my last fill I felt so frustrated with food. It felt like a chore, something I had to do. I really have a hard time when I have a cold and my little tummy fills up with drainage. I find that when I do want to eat it is usually something that will be "easy" to eat.
