Weird food urges? Anybody have them?

So I just walked into my kitchen and saw a stick of butter on the counter that I used to make the kids toast this morning (forgot to put it away) I totally had the urge to get a spoon and attack it. Butter, plain butter. Wierd.

I can't remember the last time I had meatloaf. But for some reason that's all I am craving. I was actually mad at myself for not fixing one before I started my pre-op diet. But since it's a once every 5 years thing for me, it would have never occurred to me to prioritize it....until I've done nothing but crave it.

I'm sure it will pass. And if not, I'll go by a Meatloaf CD and see if I can make that work for me.

My nut says sometimes cravings tell you something. Are you getting any fat at all in what you're eating? If not, maybe add a little good fat (not a lot, and not a lot of saturated fat). We tend to be afraid of fat, but our body needs some.

My Protein powders have no fat. I stopped having weird cravings when I started drinking a daily pre-made shake. Some fat, not a lot, not saturated.

I get them all the time. There are foods now, that i eat, that i never liked before. Cottage cheese, sweet potatoes, etc. That I absolutely love now. and every once in a while i get sugar cravings, and to be honest, i feed them. Only cuz i know that if i ignore it now, it will lead to my demise in the future. but for the most part, i crave normal stuff that i should be eating anyway lol. love LOVE tuna...lol...and i will leave work, run to the store, just to get a pouch and eat it. no harm no foul, its full of good stuff i need anyway. lol..so okay! my worst craving is usually juice. I know i shouldn't drink it much cuz its loaded with sugar, but sometimes i just gotta have it. lol this whole experience is definitely an adventure!
