Pickles and Red Onions

Is there any food that you didn't care for before surgery but now you LOVE?? It's so weird but I crave these things now. The pickles have to be the ones that come in the cold section of the grocery store and are in spears.. "Claussen Pickles"... OMG they are so good. Before surgery I would not eat raw onions. They had to be cooked til almost dark. Now I put a lot of raw red onions in my salad, lettuce wraps or tuna. Has anyone else found they like a food that they didn't like before or am I Kay PS: I'M NOT PREGNANT!

Thats too funny Kay! I have found a new love in shrimp, I hated it before surgery, but a co worker made me try this cajun shrimp she got for lunch one day and I was hooked! Now I try grilled shrimp as well...yummm! Karyn

Ohhh I love shrimp and always have. I just miss it fried.

I used to love potatoes in any form... now they taste like dirt to me... well, except chips, I still like those. But, a french fry or a spoon full of mashed tators is so gross tasting to me. It ****** me off actually, because I know what they are SUPPOSED to taste like, but they never do. I believe its because for so long we have only been exposing our pallet to certain foods and it kind of has "wiped the slate clean" so to speak. I guess its just that I never eat anything as startchy as potatoes and so my mouth just freaks out when I do- thus the nasty taste (they really taste like dirt almost now to me.) P.S. I just have to mention that I can not stand pickles... really, I mean HATE On my scale of things I hate the most in this world is 1.) The Devil and all he brings 2.) Pickles. That is how much I hate them... but I am glad someone out there likes them.

WOW, Mary.. You REALLY hate pickles. I agree with you about french fries.. They are horrible now. Pre op, I would order a super sized one from Mickey D's. I've stolen a couple from steph on occasion and it's so gross. Kay

OMG...you crack me up...the sentence about the scale of things made me laugh out loud! Jen

Whoo, Mary: you obviously have some pickle issues! I like things now that I didn't care for before surgery. I'm getting old and can't remember what they are, but it will come back to me at some point. You're not crazy Kay. I work w/ emotionally disturbed kids on a daily basis, and you hide it well if you are. Karla

Hi Kay. I used to not like cucumbers, but now I'm hooked. Thanks to you! I also dip them in this light 3 three cheese ranch drsg and it's sooooo good. Also, I used to like rice and pasta, but not so much now. Now.....a potato.....i loves me some potatos still. April

Yea cuccumbers are good. I have always liked them but I only ate them in a salad. Now I can eat them plain or dipped in ranch. Light 3 cheese ranch is my favorite too.. It's the bomb!! Kay

Refried beans. I hated them before surgery, now they have become my friend but they have to have cheese on them. Karen S.
