Crazy cravings and snacks?



Recommended Posts

Our bodies were altered and our brains are being rewired, I thought it would be fun if we shared our new food cravings!

Right now I am dipping lunchmeat chicken into italian salad dressing! I do the same with almonds. I crave Protein more than I used to, and bread a lot less. And now I am craving salads - I hated salads!!!

I used to hate seafood, and now I crave it constantly. I'm 7 weeks out and I've eaten fish three times! That's a lot for someone who avoided seafood at all cost my entire life!

I have always liked green salads and would really like one. Have heard a lot of conflicting story's when to start on salads. So I will stay on the cautious side.

I had my first lettuce salad tonight, at 10 weeks. It went well! It was just a little bit with my lasagna, it went down and stayed down! Baby steps :)

The two foods that I love now that I didn't care for pre-op are tofu (baked with onion, garlic powder, soy sauce) and cottage cheese (usually with Herbes de Provence).

I also love pudding now. I like to make it with Protein powder and sometimes even bit of cottage cheese to make "power pudding."

I think my cravings are for these foods because I can eat them rather quickly (I'm still a bit of a fast eater) without overdoing it.

I think it's crazy how much my taste buds changed overnight! Popsicles were on my post-op diet, but they were just sickeningly sweet. And I'm not craving bread anymore, and while I still like Pasta it's not an addiction for me. I had half a piece of bread with dinner last night, whereas before my surgery I would have been at risk for eating the whole basket.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
