ladymarshall 61 Posted November 13, 2012 Hello lb world I'm 8 days post op and still on full liquids. But I'm craving something sweet or salty I need a chip or something. I'm doing shake for Breakfast and lunch and low sodium Soup for dinner. Today I had a gladiator smoothie which was much better than my normal but still craving. I still have until Monday for soft foods. What can I do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jen_1381 446 Posted November 13, 2012 Hmm...definitely do not do the chips. If you're on full liquid, chips are off limits (I'll spare the lecture about chips being unhealthy for you, empty calories and carbs, etc....oops maybe I didn't spare it ) I totally get the salt craving on your liquid diet. I am a pickle girl, eat at least 1 pickle a day. I drank a small cup of pickle juice post-op! That curbed the salt craving I was having (geesh, my mouth is watering just thinking about Pickle Juice now!). Otherwise - maybe some broth? chicken broth my have the salt flavor you're looking for. If you're missing the crunch, then I've got nothing to offer, sorry! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hely88 883 Posted November 13, 2012 Resist the chip!!! Hang in there maybe try to put i tiny tiny bit of salt on your shake? I am not sure that is the best advice. Hopefully someone else will weigh in. You are doing great so hang in there!!! You will always have to conquer cravings. This is just a test! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcee 3,341 Posted November 13, 2012 Make your own Soups. Then you can put the herbs and spices that you want in them and they will probably be a lot healthier and more satisfying than the shop bought ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AnnaRabbit 16 Posted November 13, 2012 Yes. Awesome work, you're almost there. I'm seven days out - same craving for salt and a chip - but not going there. No cheating - just making this work. The Soup does help - i have good old fashioned cheap chicken bouillion - pretty damn salty. Best wishes, Anna p.s. does anyone know how to get a profile picture - a real photo - to stand straight?
