I crave foods I used to hate!???!!!!

I am losing it! The four foods I never liked have become incredibly enticing. I never liked tomato foods, especially pizza, spagetti, or tomato soup. Now I am living off V8 juice and loving it. I put tomato sauce, with herbs and cheese, and protein powder in the blender and pretend it's pizza. I always turned my nose up at beans; now I love them! Even weirder, I used to hate vanilla. Now I gotta have it in everything! I even started burning vanilla candles. I am craving pickles, too. Whazzup???? No, I'm not pregnant. Lou Ann

Lou Ann, I haven't experienced ths myself but my sister is 1 year post op and we went campng a few moths ago and she ate eggs for breakfast. Now that would seem normal to most, but my sister does not eat eggs. When we were kids she had battles over this with our mother, now she loves them !!! Eats them all the time... She said she eats alot of things now she didn't use to like. So, you're not alone. Have a good one! Pat

Sounds like your body is craving something it needs! LOL! Our bodies naturally do that but we often do not listen. My theory is that WLS patients are a "captive audience" for the wills of our bodies since right after surgery we are going without more often than most. LOL! Might sound crazy but that's my theory... I too, am craving things I did not eat before. Of course things I used to like I hate now... I used to love Vanilla but everything I try that is vanilla just makes me want to LOL! Oh well, I can't wait til I can move to regular diets again! Brightest Blessings~ Jamie 1/19/05 257/236/147
