Weird Food Preferences Post-Op?



Recommended Posts

I love eggs... Always have, always will. Any way you cook them, I'll eat them, but since being sleeved I've discovered that unless they've got ketchup on top (something I never would have eaten before,) I can't eat them. chicken HAS to have BBQ Sauce on top no matter how it's prepared, broccoli has to be steamed plain with no cheese...

I realize that food wise our tastes have changed but I'm just curious what other "weird" food preferences others have now that they may not have had before.

I used to love eggs too but now they make me dump. I used to like seasoned foods but now my taste buds are ultra sensitive and I love plain foods like plain oatmeal. On another note my sense of smell is heightened

I used to salt almost EVERYTHING. I haven't picked up a shaker, but to cook with in 7 months.

I used to love eggs, especially eggs benedict. But now I don't reach for them that much unless I put a conscious effort in. Right now I love cottage cheese with sardines, something I never considered eating together at all. I got the idea of eating tuna and cottage cheese through this website, but have since preferred sardines instead...

Sorry, the salt thing wasn't weird. I can't top sardines and cottage cheese, but how about Peanut Butter spread on roast beef or chicken?

On the contrary, somehow I enjoy now using more salt than before being sleeved. Before the procedure, I didn't like using salt. I was more of a sweet tooth person. Now I enjoy some Snacks that tend to be salty, like peanuts, olives, etc.

The weird thing is that now, I really don't like most dairy products. I don't enjoy yogurt, nor milk, if I do eat ice cream, it's usually lime or mango ice cream which are pretty much Water based (I haven't seen that too many times int the US, but those are common flavors here in Mexico).

I used to love coffee but now even the smell of someone else near me with it almost makes me sick to my stomach

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
