Food You Didn't Eat Before Surgery & Are Now Obsessed With



Recommended Posts

Just like it says... what's a food you didn't eat before surgery that you now love and are obsessed with?

My first one is Light String Cheese! I don't think I ever ate String cheese pre-surgery and now I have a 2-3 as a snack every other day at least. 3 strings are 150 calories with 18g Protein, no carbs, and 7.5g fat. Fun and keeps me full for hours.

Soft boiled eggs. I had never eaten one before surgery. Not sure how I even started eating them, but I think I was looking for egg alternatives because hard boiled and fried eggs (when they're REALLY cooked) can get a little too rubbery and don't go down so easily.

I had a soft boiled egg and I am hooked. Love them!

Most vegetables. As a kid I was force fed and was disgusted by them. I started eating your basic veggies during Pre-Surgery classes. After surgery I am willing to try any and all of them and quite enjoy them.

Sweet bell peppers and sweet cherry tomatoes. And Pink Lady apples. I just love 'em, they are such a treat whereas before I would have turned my nose up at them.

I ate Peanut Butter before.
But now, I feel like Smeagol whenever I see a container of peanut butter.

Salsa. I never liked it, now I crave it. I used to despise sweet potatoes, now I like them. There are other foods that I used to like, but now I love, like spinach, and foods I used to love, and now I hate, like salmon.

Veggies. I never thought I'd like them, now I just wish I could eat more of them!

My biggest thing would be YOGURT. Have always hated the sour milk taste and no matter what brand I tried I could not get past it. THEN I found OIKOS Lemon Meringue! Top with sugar free Cool Whip and VOILA it is Dessert for breakfast!

I am obsessed with cottage cheese now. I liked it before, but never bought it or went out of my way to get it... now I eat a half cup to a cup daily.

      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.
