Wanna Eat/taste Something



Recommended Posts

Hello lb world I'm 8 days post op and still on full liquids. But I'm craving something sweet or salty I need a chip or something. I'm doing shake for Breakfast and lunch and low sodium Soup for dinner. Today I had a gladiator smoothie which was much better than my normal but still craving. I still have until Monday for soft foods. What can I do?

Hmm...definitely do not do the chips. If you're on full liquid, chips are off limits (I'll spare the lecture about chips being unhealthy for you, empty calories and carbs, etc....oops maybe I didn't spare it :) )

I totally get the salt craving on your liquid diet. I am a pickle girl, eat at least 1 pickle a day. I drank a small cup of pickle juice post-op! That curbed the salt craving I was having (geesh, my mouth is watering just thinking about Pickle Juice now!).

Otherwise - maybe some broth? chicken broth my have the salt flavor you're looking for.

If you're missing the crunch, then I've got nothing to offer, sorry!

Try sugar free popsicles.

Resist the chip!!! Hang in there maybe try to put i tiny tiny bit of salt on your shake? I am not sure that is the best advice. Hopefully someone else will weigh in. You are doing great so hang in there!!! You will always have to conquer cravings. This is just a test!

Make your own Soups. Then you can put the herbs and spices that you want in them and they will probably be a lot healthier and more satisfying than the shop bought ones.

Yes. Awesome work, you're almost there. I'm seven days out - same craving for salt and a chip - but not going there. No cheating - just making this work. The Soup does help - i have good old fashioned cheap chicken bouillion - pretty damn salty.

Best wishes,

Anna

p.s. does anyone know how to get a profile picture - a real photo - to stand straight?

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
