Craving Salt - 8 weeks post op



Recommended Posts

Yes. I told the Dr I just wanted to lick an Olive. He said go ahead. Lol

I think it's because there are so many sweet things pre and post surgery.

I just crave savory things now

We're in the same boat. Im 8wks out and last week its like i woke up and wanted nothing but a bag of plain lays potatoe chips, and i got them to. I can only eat a couple but it satisfy that craving. And i dont kick myself because i dont feel like im cheating. Im not on a diet, its a life change and every now and then, i can have a treat. If i deny myself ill really go off my rocker

That is the same advice Popeye's marital counselor gave him. :)

I have never craved salt before this surgery and all I want is salt now! Our body does tell us what we need... Maybe it is to get us to drink more

I feel the same way about craving salty Snacks. I used to crave sugary treats but it is the opposite after the gastric sleeve! They do say that taste buds change after surgery.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
