Crazy cravings and snacks?



Recommended Posts

Our bodies were altered and our brains are being rewired, I thought it would be fun if we shared our new food cravings!

Right now I am dipping lunchmeat chicken into italian salad dressing! I do the same with almonds. I crave Protein more than I used to, and bread a lot less. And now I am craving salads - I hated salads!!!

I used to hate seafood, and now I crave it constantly. I'm 7 weeks out and I've eaten fish three times! That's a lot for someone who avoided seafood at all cost my entire life!

I have always liked green salads and would really like one. Have heard a lot of conflicting story's when to start on salads. So I will stay on the cautious side.

I had my first lettuce salad tonight, at 10 weeks. It went well! It was just a little bit with my lasagna, it went down and stayed down! Baby steps :)

The two foods that I love now that I didn't care for pre-op are tofu (baked with onion, garlic powder, soy sauce) and cottage cheese (usually with Herbes de Provence).

I also love pudding now. I like to make it with Protein powder and sometimes even bit of cottage cheese to make "power pudding."

I think my cravings are for these foods because I can eat them rather quickly (I'm still a bit of a fast eater) without overdoing it.

I think it's crazy how much my taste buds changed overnight! Popsicles were on my post-op diet, but they were just sickeningly sweet. And I'm not craving bread anymore, and while I still like Pasta it's not an addiction for me. I had half a piece of bread with dinner last night, whereas before my surgery I would have been at risk for eating the whole basket.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
