Craving crunch



Recommended Posts

I’m only about a week and a half out, but I am so craving being able to chew something crunchy, my team does not want patients to eat raw Veg or fruit for at least 3 months. Any suggestions of how to cope? I was assuming I would have way more sugar cravings (though I have those too) just curious if others have experienced this and how they got through it. Thank you.

I think we all experienced it. I didn't find any solution and just toughed it out. It may seem like an eternity at the moment, but you will be able to eat some crunchy things sooner than you think. I really enjoyed some of the Protein chips from the Bariatric Pal Store when I could eat them--and I still do.

Two of my favorites:

I don't have any answers but I feel you! I want a saltine cracker, and it's something I don't normally eat. Five days postop so it's a no go.

      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! 😞
