Kaila312 19 Posted December 31, 2012 Yes! I am craving things that I never use to eat! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DUBrookie03 142 Posted December 31, 2012 I noticed that I started having that prior to surgery. I think it was the 6 month diet. I literally cut out all soda and all fast food. I started experimenting with healthy foods and found some stuff that I love. Now when I have a food craving it's for hummus or bruschetta or cottage cheese and peaches. And of course I can't eat any of that yet Right before my surgery I splurged and ate a steak which was awesome, but then I also tried a Wendy's cheeseburger and McDonalds fries which I have always loved, and they both tasted awful to me!!!!

Fiddleman 4,376 Posted December 31, 2012 It is certainly true. I used to love peach and banana flavors for most my adult life in yogurt, drinks, etc. after being sleeved, these no longer appeal to me and makes me a little nauseous. I used to love the banana creme light yogurt!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AaronRene14 18 Posted December 31, 2012 I cat eat rice anymore. I can live pitchout it but boy, was it a learning experience I can relate to this one. After 2 painful sessions (non consecutive of coarse) of throwing up and/or sliming after eating rice i gave it up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carol Watts 67 Posted December 31, 2012 I loved seafood before surgery, now shrimp doesn't taste as good. Crab makes me sick. Milk makes me sick.I was never a big fan of milk to start with. Green Beans and corn make me sick which I did like. I cant stand sugar of any type I can t stand carbonated drinks now. Haven't even tried the carbonated drinks just the thought of it gags me. Sweets tried some tea after surgery that had sugar in it after surgery and it made me sick. I liked sweet tea before surgery not anymore. I will eat stuff with chives in it now. Never liked chives. I eat stuff with onion now never liked onion before. I was always a very picky eater. My husband and I have been married almost 20 years and he is just shocked and amazed at my eating habits changing. Thanks for all the input. I don't feel alone now.
