Sushi and Starbucks are 2 things that I just didn't do before GBS. It's weird, but now, I LOVE sushi - I didn't try it until I was about 10 months out, and I can only eat 2 medium sized rolls - or 3 small rolls . . . but I LOVE it!! It's the only white rice I can eat, but I'm shocked by how much I want sushi. I can say that I have eaten sushi everyday for the last couple of weeks. And Starbucks non fat lattes!! That is my sweet treat - at least it has protein!

Does anyone else have any foods that you didn't eat pre-op that you now LOVE?

Horseradish on red meat and tomatoes.

Tomatoes used to make me gag and throw up as a kid, now I love them with parsley, balsalmic vinegar and mozzerella cheese. I eat it like a sald and cube the cheese.

The horseradish thing is weird, I never had it preop and one day was craving it at a steakhouse, red meat isnt the same for me without out.

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."

The rice doesnt bother you too much? I craved sushi one day out of the blue and bought a pack. I've never had sushi. It didnt go well I think if it was fresh rather than frozen it would have been better.

As for food I like now that I didnt like before surgery....yogurt has to be one. I never touched the stuff prior to GBS and now I have one every other day. Also..Fish! I eat fish 3 or 4 times a week now.

Kevin - I couldn't eat rice until I was 10 months out - before that, I tried a couple of times and it made me feel like a scared puffer fish. The first 6 or 7 months, I could do any complex carbs. I still can't do bread without feeling horrible. But now . . . come on baby . . . sushi for me! I had it at lunch - fresh is the way to go!!! I eat 3 pieces of a spicy crab roll and that was it!!

I loved sushi before, but do a sashimi appetizer or ask for a riceless roll now. I loved all the fattening things in there too...creamcheese, avocado, fried tempura, eel. I would rather eat some edamame, sashimi and a little side of brown rice.


I never loved fruit or veggies pre op...now I love them.
