Craved foods post op...

[LindsayRN 17]

I'm 13 days post op, 32 pounds down and I feel fantastic. However, today is the first day I'm actually craving food. I think it's because I'm feeling more normal and it doesn't hurt anymore to drink fluids. So with that said....I'm craving veggie pizza from a local pizza place, and sushi

I am 7days out and I am craving sushi as well.... I've seen a couple recipes on here for some, but that's still a ways down the road for me

Make sure it's not too soon to eat solid foods, but, I'm a firm believer in satisfying cravings. I'm one of those people that once my mind gets fixated on a certain food I can't get rid of it until I have it. I had that with chicken nuggets from mcdonalds. I got a kids meal, ate half of one chicken nugget, it tasted TERRIBLE, and I haven't been back since.

Sushi, on the other hand, always tastes delicious. LOL

i actually took my "mental" cravings - wrote them down on an index card, and put them in a recipe box (pizza, chips, Cookies et al)

when i wanted to eat this "bad" stuff - i would take out the ol' recipe box - look at the item/card for awhile, basically talking myself out of eating

"always" worked - "USUALLY"

i have confidence in you

32 lbs and counting

WooHoo

good luck

Hi, I am 1 week post op today, I am still not hungry. I did try strained cream of mushroom Soup 98% ff made with Water and I didn't season it. It was a lot better than all that sf crap! I never thought I would say I don't want sweets, but it happened today. I am drinking my 4 oz shakes 3 X a day, not liking them, but know I need the protein....so good luck. heck I am ready to get past all this liquid stuff.

I'm one week out and surviving on broth Water and Protein shakes.....at this point I'm feeling great as far as healing goes. Since recovery is great I am starting to feel like I want real food with substance sooooo bad!!! I feel like feeling well makes me want to toss the liquids but I still have a week to go. Hoping my drs appt tomorrow allows for variety soon. My stomach litterally growls thinking of food and I'm not even going to say how hard it was to cook dinner for hubby today, lol!! I wish I could have a bowl of frosted mini wheats, tacos, chicken tenders, urggggg ......
