this woman's stomach is being removed, so, for her, she feels she's losing the enjoyment of food. in the article she uses the word "we," so i assume she went with her family. but for her it's about some last moments savoring solid food and enjoying a meal; the different textures and flavors, and feeling full. her quality of life may not be improved at all by the stomach removal (it doesn't say if it's a total removal, or partial, but either way, she won't be able to enjoy food the way she did again). transplants are rare and usually only in conjunction with a bunch of other organs, so it's unlikely she'll be able to get a new one. if i was going to lose my legs tomorrow, i'd walk everywhere i could, just to hold onto the memory a little bit longer. it would matter where i walked; i'd like to stand in water, feel sand and sun against my legs. walk in a pasture and feel the grass brush against me. i guess the food tour was similar for her.
