All of my life I've had a weird reaction to flavours and textures; I dislike having multiple flavours combined together (IE: if I eat a burger, I'll have pretty much everything stripped out), and there are a heap of foods that I find repulsive, including the majority of vegetables, sweets, spices, fish, etc. If I try to eat something that I don't like then my body shudders, and I will start dry retching or feeling like I am close to doing so. It's not just a preference thing, it's my body rejecting these foods. Even bland things like rice is too much for me. Most of what I eat is repetitive and simple.
I'm now about a month out from weight loss surgery and am supposed to start taking meal replacements, but I can't stomach any of them. I've bought supposedly tasteless protein powders, and the smells and tastes are still too much. There's also a list of vegetables to include in my diet and there's literally only two that I can eat without having an adverse reaction - lettuce and peas. Cabbage, cucumber, etc. all makes me feel queasy.
How on earth am I supposed to get around this rather massive obstacle? I'm wanting to proceed with the surgery, but I don't know how to be successful with my diet both pre and post surgery.
