Strange cravings!



Recommended Posts

Oh boy, one year and some months out now. 95 pounds down and all of a sudden I have a craving for something I never even consumed before.

Coke? WTF? I have never drank Coke, never had a hard time giving up pop, but all of a sudden. THIS?

Perhaps it is the caffeine I am craving, big time sugar??? I don't even get this one.

Any one else have a strange cravings?

Lately I've been craving things that I never liked before. Hated eggrolls, 2 days ago I ate a whole one. Hated olives, at a jar of them last week. Hated diced tomatoes on top of things, now I eat them all the time. I'm not sure if my tastes are changing or what. I know I'm definately not pregnant!

Cravings? Hell yes! HATED pumkin flavored things...this year I can't seem to get enough; coffee, pie, etc.

I never was a fan of ice cream. Well...last weekend I had pumpkin ice cream! It's true!!!

I also get 'spur of the moment' cravings, too. Like in what i'd assume in pregnancy. Mushrooms - gotta have em NOW. Mexican - NOW.

Very strange!:(

Definately! I never liked sweets before, but now I eat small amounts of icecream & chocolate. It has worked the other way w/me too..I used to like wheat bread much better than regular, and now I hate the taste of wheat bread! I thought that was weird.

I was never a big fan of soda. I drank it, but that's about it... but hell, I was already down to caffeine free, sugar free... so it was really just like nastyw ater. ANYWAY, I went through a sort of random phase where I craved the CARBONATION. You know, when you chug a freshly opened can, and get that fizzy burn in your throat? I was craving that like you wouldn't believe. It went away.

Other new cravings - I used to not eat pig meat, now I enjoy the taste of bacon. I don't crave it now, but I used to.

I'm not a chocolate fan, but I crave chocolate chip Cookies. That's probably become one of my two largest vices as a bandster - Cookies, which I could take or leave pre-op - and key lime pie, which I've always enjoyed.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
