Lemons and Salt

[gotmyeyeontheprize 2]

I have a current addiction to sliced lemons with salt. It is so strange. I crave them to the point that my mouth waters just thinking about them. I wonder if this new craving comes from a lack of certain Vitamins or minerals since being banded. I take a Multivitamin and Calcium daily. Has anyone else experienced this?

no I haven't had this craving, but now that you type it, it sounds good. Wonder how limes would do .. DH usually keeps them in the fridge. Oh, I better not, the salt would make me retain Water. phooey.

No, but that can be very hard on your teeth. I am trying to be addicted to my purple Protein Water though!

It could be due to imbalances in your blood. It's worth asking your Dr for a vitamin/mineral blood panel to make sure there's nothing missing in your diet, as can happen with WLS and our modified diets.

Some people crave lemons when they have Iron deficient anemia.

My mother used to salt oranges and apples when I was a kid.
