What are the weird and new foods you like post op?



Recommended Posts

I have this new Breakfast I eat that I think is weird.. but I love it.

I mix low fat sour cream with no sugar added ketchup, and drop a spoonful over a sunny side up egg. My husband is horrified by the look of it. :P

I also now like bacon (if high quality like butters block), in small amounts. Never liked it before.

I can now tolerate spicier foods, whereas before I hated anything spicy. And I'm from El Paso, lol.

What are some of your post-op new food loves?

I know like cottage cheese with salt and pepper. I know that's not real weird but I never could stand the site of it before.

It's not a weird food but I used to absolutely loathe eggs -- just the smell of them made me nauseated -- and now I love eggs.

Other than that, my tastes have stayed pretty much the same.

I guess one other thing isn't so much taste changing but a different focus -- I always liked sardines, but didn't eat them terribly often. Now I consider them a verging-on-perfect food (calcium, Iron, Protein, healthy Omega acids, plus low calorie!) and eat them almost every day.

ETA my favorite dinner combines sardines & eggs, which I guess some people would think is weird! I basically mash up sardines with some avocado or kale, mix in some sauce (like curry sauce or bbq sauce) and bake in the oven with an egg on top. People do tend to look at me strangely when I start raving about my sardine kale egg bake.

Plain greek yogurt.... Hated it before and now love it and have it at least once a day.

I used to love tea... I drank buckets of it daily and hated it afterwards. Even the smell turned my stomach. I have had a couple of cups recently but its not the same.

Now that IS weird seeing as I am Enlish and we are born with a cup of tea in hand lol :P

I have been looking for new ways to spice up cottage cheese. I like it now just as before surgery, but it can get boring!

I'm kind off the opposite- I loved coffee pre surgery, now I kinda like it but not nearly s much. I love tea now!!

Also, I used to be a huge lover of red wine. I took a sip the other day and didn't like it. Cant believe that!

Same here. It was so unappealing before. Now it's becoming a staple. If strange colors don't bother you, you might want to try it with a little hot sauce instead of black pepper.

Nothing. I don't like anything anymore! It's crazy. It helps because I don't overeat. The only food I enjoy post op is a taco salad. I've tried so many things. Even my favorite things pre surgery, taste gross to me now.

I can't say that I like this and that is fine but I eat Greek yogurt now. Cottage cheese and a tbsp of sugar free apricot jam is pretty darn good.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
