Talk about crazy tastes!

May 10, 2015

Before my surgery, during the seven hoops, I was told by my nut, doctor, and the psych that my tastes would change. I didn't believe them. But, darn if it isn't true! A big one is Triscuits. I never liked them because they are too dry. Now I love them and use them to help settle my stomach when I feel a bit nauseated. Another big one is sweets/sugar. It literally tastes so sweet that it turns my stomach. I had to stop drinking/eating juices, pudding, yogurt, jello. Even the protein drinks are too sweet for me. I had a chocolate chip cookie last week and it did not go well. Lol

I find myself LOVING dairy. I loved milk before, but now milk and cheese are my passion!

I don't miss pop or sweets. I admit sometimes food being cooked smells REALLY good. But, I'm OK not eating when others eat or not snacking.

This is all so new to me. A little exciting too!

I do tend to feel a little guilty when my dad takes me out to eat. I try to get kids meals or small portions. But I leave most of it and I feel like it's a waste of his money. He says it's not a problem. He's proud of me and what I am doing. Sometimes I wonder if my mom would have been proud of me. I think she would have been about the weight loss. Not so sure she would have been about the surgery tho.

Fast food doesn't appeal to me as much any more. Mostly, the idea of not cooking appeals to me. Lol I am not a cook, nor do I like to cook and it's like the family joke - me with sharp objects, starting a fire in my oven, going to the ER a couple of times for injuries while cleaning my place. Yes, it's all funny after the fact. Way after. Lol  It's also a bit scary to think that I will have to begin cooking once I hit stage 4. Right now, I grind up various cooked proteins for my meals. 

Oh and I also really like to liquidfy my fruits. For whatever reason, I really enjoy drinking them.
