Strange Food Cravings



Recommended Posts

I am 2 weeks post op. I went to a renaissance fair yesterday. I thought it would be difficult being around all of that yummy food, however I just kept thinking "wow those portions are so huge" the ironic thing is before surgery that was a normal size to me. The most difficult thing for me to pass up was the pickles. I had no problem watching people walk by with plates piled high with cheese frys or huge waffle cones with 5 scoops of ice cream. I swear there was a pickle stand around every corner. I also notice when people post recipes like tomatoes cucumbers and balsamic dressing my mouth starts to Water. What is wrong with me? I love it, however I'll love it even more when I'm able to eat those healthy fares :-)

Excited to hear your thinking about healthy foods, even if you can't eat them yet. I love colorful fruits and veggies, I just can't eat that many. :)

I was just reading an article on fair foods. and it was saying that one turkey leg has more than 1300 calories and the fat content would choke you. before I read this I would have gone straight for that healthy turkey.

i remember with weight watchers - veggies were free, fruit you could eat a large variety. - yum to all that good stuff- miss that

all the good food we eat is great - i miss veggies & fruit - we can have a little bit of "something" but not much

boo hoo :angry:

PS hi dorrie, haven't seen you lately or are you to thin :lol: - nice to see you

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
