Is it normal to have a craving for food 1 week post op?

Today I ate a popsicle and small Jello in 1 seating is that too much 1 week post op

I felt the same way and had to realize getting sleeved does not cure craving.

Cravings are a normal part of human beings, with or without WLS. Heck, I was craving Pringles 2 days post-op! However, I'm set on having a textbook recovery so I've followed every rule from pre-op on.

Speaking of, your second question about what you ate in one sitting being okay? How long was your sitting? Beyond that, has your doctor/nutritionist allowed those foods on your plan? I've been allowed SF popsicles since the clear liquid stage, but am not ready for Jell-O. Essentially, we have to remember that our stomach is healing right now - even if we think we can handle something, or even if we DO handle something, it may not be best to progress through the food phases until your doctor/NUT gives the okay!

when you start with thicker food, you will get the full feeling. The feeling may or may not be what you are used to. I had it one time so far and didn't realize it at first, but it was enough to make me quit eating what I was and I did get nauseous, but didn't vomit. Now I know what it feels like.
