Cravings

[Nikki B 4]

I am starting my 3rd week after the sleeve and I wanted to see if anyone had problems with cravings. Even though I am not hungry, I crave to chew something. I struggled with purées and now I am on soft foods.

Thanks ladies. This is so new to me and I know I have to change my habits but sometimes you just want what you want. Guess I have to find an alternative to it.

I chewed beef jerkey, then spit it out. Just not too much because the sodium is high.

I eat a lot of s.f. popsicles and that helps me. Also imitation crab sticks are yummy for me. Good luck!

It taste better to me. Not as salty or greasey! The big thing was the flavor or meat and not being so greasy. I love them and it's my go to when I am out and about. It's $1.69 but so worth it and they are good size. Better than going through the mickey dee's drive thur! Stop at a Vitamin shopee or GNC & see if they can give you a couple samples of different flavors.
