Hi Erin!,

I can't tell you the technical term for what is happening but it really is a great thing! Before surgery I loved fast food, thought it was the end all be all of food. Then I had surgery and nothing is better to me now than a homecooked meal, made and flavored to my liking. When I eat at home I eat less and tend to experince fullness for longer periods of time.

I will dub this period of my life as HOMEGROWN GOODNESS! :smile2:

I've not experienced this at all... interesting, though. I'm curious what is behind it, why it happens.

That's what happens for some of us when we go on high protein/low carb meal plans... our tastes really do change. I'll have something that I totally love, then a few weeks later I can't stand it. Or it'll taste too sweet. Our bodies are adjusting. We are getting rid of the sugar addictions... fun times :smile2:

Not just me!!! Not only that, I now crave taste. Everything I cook is more heavily seasoned. Garlic, lemon salt and vanillia extra for liquids, I just got to have it. I also now like water, before it was extra sweet tea or nothing. Don't know why, but it keeps me away from the bland fast food. I don't miss it.
