This was way funny because right before I sat down to read on here, I did my dishes, emptied the dishwasher and looked into the fridge and started cleaning...Wasted lots of items that went right into the garbage. My husband gets more upset about it then I do. If it was up to me I would just chuck it after dinner because I know I am never going to eat it and with his job by the time he comes home it is garbage anyways but for the sake of his sanity I save it and throw it away later. I throw so much food away that I could food half the united states. I must admit that I still cook like I am feeding an army but never eat it like that. It is something I am working on. As I sit here and type I am eating a chicken&Brocolli pot pie took 3 bites and the rest to the garbage. Yeah it probably does cost me a ton of money on groceries that go in the garbage but oh well. I hate grocery shopping now, I can remember before surgery I would walk up and down every aisle..hmm what looks good, now I am in and out because rarely do things look good to me. As far as eating out, I order what I want and eat what I can and chuck the rest.

My tastes have definetly changed since surgery. I remember before surgery I loved pancakes and eggs and bacon...Now I have a hard time even looking at them...Grosses me right out..I have so many more I could list but oh yea my taste have changed!
