Learn something about yourself since surgery you never knew before?

[Mickeydies 30]

Has anyone learned something about themselves they would have never guessed before surgery? So far here's what I have learned about myself. I really don't like sweets as I did before, they are ok, but I am happy with just a bite. I am beautiful, fat or thin, and NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING THINNER FEELS! I found that after this, I don't like salty, sugary, greasy, or anything I have loved for my whole life.

My sense of taste and smell have totally changed. I can smell yucky stuff from a mile away, this week mushrooms smell like horse manure and the smell of raw meat makes me want to gag. I think most importantly I have discovered that I am stubborn when it comes to something I want, no matter what others may say. After all the fuss and dogged determination to have the sleeve, I have done something for myself that is sane, healthy and relevant.

Yes...great question.... Many things have changed for me... I can eat a few bites and walk away without eating the whole rack of ribs, I used to love, love fried greasy foods and now the smell of oil makes me nauseated. I still love chocolate!!! Still love veggies. And finally I am not as big boned as I thought! Interesting what I look like with bones showing! Again thank you for this question!

I realized my hip bones are very close to my ribs. I really hope it's not abnormal. Lol
