Salt Cravings

Has anyone else had salt cravings? Twice this week I ended up getting a small bag of salted, roasted pumpkin seeds and sucking the salt off the shells (then eating the nuts inside the shells). Any idea what might be causing this?

I have not done anything like that, but I have noticed that since surgery, the saltier the better and the spicier the better! My sweet tooth has been replaced by a salt tooth I think.

Ya I have been having some salt cravings. When I do I have some almonds. They have protein, good fats and just a few help that craving and they are a better choice than potato chips, lol!! No clue what is causing it though because I have never been a real salt person, but I guess it is better than craving suragy things!! Nikki

yeah me too... the worst is when I eat mexican food and they bring out the chips and salsa!! I LOVE chips and salsa and I can't get enough salt on the chips lately!!!

I haven't been doing this myself, but I worked with a girl a few years ago who started craving pretzels. (She had not had wls) Come to find out, she was mildly anemic and craving salty foods was a symptom. She ended up have to have a hysterctomy. Have you had your iron checked since surgery? It might be a good idea... Rhonda
