Changing Tastes: What were the big surprises for you?

[BlackBerryJuice 349]

I haven't found anything that I used to like that I vehemently dislike, but I have noticed that I'm a lot more indifferent to sweets. Before the surgery, I was all about milk chocolate, ice cream, and other extremely sweet things. But these days, I prefer the kind of sweetness you'd find in a fruit yogurt or fruit-flavored licorice. I had a teaspoon of halva (a tahini-based Mediterranean sweet) and it was just too much, so I put it away and had some yogurt instead.

I remember once before the surgery, I made chocolate-dipped strawberries (more like, chocolate garnished with an occasional strawberry :001_tongue:), and my boyfriend wouldn't eat them because they were too sweet. Now I understand where he's coming from!

I was hooked to my venti caramel light frap with sugar free carmael and no whip, with a dome lid LOL, my startbucks peep knew me by name and always had my order ready. I tried a tall and eeewww it was nasty. I'm kinda glad I don't like it anymore, I can save some money now :001_tongue:.

Oh and now I love purple/grape popsickles, never cared for them before, now they are my favorite...go figure LOL!

Before surgery I craved bread. I don't anymore. I have maybe one piece a week. Or two pieces, if I have toast w/breakfast. I do not crave sweets, or baked goods the way I used to. The only odd thing that has changed with my eating, is that I cannot tolerate peanuts, or Peanut Butter anymore. And I used to love peanut butter. I consider it a very small price to pay.

No one should scold you for what you eat. Those are your choices and there is no reason in the world why you shouldn't have whatever you want. The difference between now and pre-surgery is that you can't eat too much of it. So have what you want girl, you are doing great!! You are only a mere 20 lbs from your goal weight and that is awesome!!
