Today is one week postop and I'm having some odd cravings (pica) for things I've never liked! Soecifically- sour cream & guacamole - together. :/

Mmmm yummy, sounds good!!!

Pica is technically when you crave things that are NOT food, have NO nutritional value. Sounds like just odd cravings to me. You most likely want the creaminess and ease (going down) of those foods, plus some of the sour of the lime in the guacamole. I found my taste buds went really wonky for a week or so, then evened out again.

No worries, that's actually not pica at all. Those are nutritious things to eat. With pica you'd be craving/eating things like dryer sheets and dirt.

I craved black Beans with wing sauce as soon as I hit mushies. I'd never eat those together normally, but they just sounded good. And wish relatively few options, we have to get a bit creative. Maybe our brans are in mushy overdrive.

Yeah, as mentioned above pica is really craving stuff like dirt.

Reminds me of an incident my wife talks about, seems one April 1st (April Fools Day) someone made cupcakes out of potting soil, they looked scrumptiously like moist dark chocolate, they even put a bit of icing on them. Well most took a bite and spat them out and immediately knew the prank - one fat dude (fortunately NOT me!) went back for SECONDS! He said they tasted "a bit funny" but he couldn't resist. Man, he really had food issues.

Back OT: craving stuff isn't really an issue, we all have that, being UNABLE to resist the craving is the REAL issue. As long as you can control yourself don't fret about it. If you really can't resist go back to the doc first and maybe a psychologist if it still persists.

i was crazy about pickles! haha

it goes away after a while

I hate fish of any kind. But at first I craved tuna and salmon.

Ok now - we wouldn't be here if we didn't have some type of food issue or another, but holy balls - that's just wrong! I love it. Did anyone ever tell him?
