I can't eat anything dry, really. It has to be in broth or "moist." The one exception is bread. I suspect Harvey the Sleeve finds this amusing, however I could quite honestly probably eat an entire loaf of bread. I have absolutely zero restriction with it even nearly two years out, and I do my best to avoid it entirely for this reason.

I disliked chicken breasts before surgery, and now I hate them. I will eat them, but they always taste...slightly off? I'm not sure why.

I also hate eggs. Eggs made me horribly sick post-op, and I never liked them to start with. I can eat them in things, or a frittata, however scrambled eggs give me the willies to this day. Harvey is apparently anti-ovum. They are tolerable sous vide, or with a crapload of fat, however that adds too many calories to my day.

I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

Is probably because I am still early out, but the thought of even putting bread in my makes me shudder. I have tried all sorts of low carb bready items and each one sits terrible. So, I just stopped trying, honestly I don't miss it that much. Only think I really miss is garlic bread sticks.

I was a lucky one who had no issues with eating anything - at any point post-op. Though I never had a sweet tooth, I'm in the same camp of "sugary things taste disgustingly sugary" now. Sweet items I could tolerate pre-op are just cloyingly sweet to me now. Thanks, but no thanks!!
