Tasting my way through life..

Aug 08, 2011

I am no longer devouring my way through life.  I am 2 months post op and I can pretty much "taste" anything.  Yes, I said taste.  I don't have a whole portion of pretty much anything anymore.  I have a couple bites here and there.  I feel satisfied after such a small portion that I don't even want more of even the tastiest foods. I was worried that surgery would ruin my life because I conside myself a "foodie".  I love to cook, bake and taste!!! Now I just taste smaller bites and stop at a few bites.  I bake and cook still, but I use alternative foods for my favorites.

Examples:
low carb tortilla for my pizza crust
cauliflower for my mashed potatoes
nuts as my popcorn
SF pops and low carb ice cream  for my sweet tooth
protein shakes for my breakfast

It really doesn't get much easier. The first few weeks were hell, but now things have evened out. I am enjoying the foods I love but in new ways.
