What Types Of Food Are People Craving After All Healed



Recommended Posts

For the first week post-op I would have strangled a grizzly bear with my bare hands for a Five Guys burger. Since then I've had no major cravings.

Turkey chili was on my week 3-6 soft and moist list, and it was good. Still is.

If you don't feel like making your own, this brand in a can is surprisingly good. I found it at Safeway, Stagg Turkey Ranchero: http://www.hormelfoods.com/brands/stagg/default.aspx#

Looks like it's also made by Hormel, but way better tasting than the Hormel-labeled turkey chili. Probably not the optimal choice with the carbs and sodium, but good occasionally.

Chilli. I don't know whether it is a craving as I don't think about it until someone asks me what I want for lunch or dinner and I just find myself saying "chilli".

I am a make my own kind of gal. Plus, I live in New Zealand and we don't have those brands here :-) though it must be so easy to be able to just open a can! I tend to make a big batch and freeze half cup portions, they are a real go to for me and make up my work lunch most days. I have always enjoyed chilli but post sleeve it seems to be my new favourite!

I don't think this is a strange question at all (but what a strange response).

I crave the same foods I always did. For me, nothing has changed. I'm almost 4 weeks out and I can eat anything, just in very small amounts.

pizza is my only craving these days. All other food is very meh, I can take it or leave it. I craved a taco all through my liquid phase, and discovered I could no longer eat them after I went to solids. Since it made me feel bad, I haven't craved it again. I find that A LOT with solids. :)

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
