Hi since my surgery I've been craving healthy food(salads, veggies etc), this is something new for me. I feel like my new stomach has a new mind. Is there anyone that is experiencing this?

Day of surgery 254 lbs

7 wks post-op 222lbs

154lbs?

Start weight....154! Wow! I can't wait to get to that weight! I didn't think any doctor would do WLS unless you had at least 100 lbs to lose or had high blood pressure, or diabetic, etc.

Anywho, I'm only 2 weeks out, just started soft food, so I'm looking forward to eating salads again!! And I can only hope that my sleeve has the same mindset as yours!

I love salads but they fill me up for hours. I have to stick with solid Protein to get my nutrition in. Only so many hours in a day to get the good stuff in. Linda

That's a typo, I meant to say 254lbs. Sorry!!

I miss my salads and veggies big time. I eat veggie burgers a lot to get Protein and veggies but do wish I had room for brussel sprouts or broccoli.

It's probably psychological, you must be screwed up in the head if you crave veggies

I have been approved for eating raw fruits and veggies. I too have been craving fresh salads. My surgeon told me to avoid raw spinach because many of his patients complain of being sick after eating it. It is not crips and does not digest as easily as romaine and other crisp greens. I am really having a lot of anxiety with starting to try new foods.
