strong craving !!

I'm ten days out of surgery and is it ok to drink v8 juice or tomato ? I have never like v8 or tomato juice but for some reason I got this strong craving for it .

I had strong cravings for it too.  I don't think you want to do it this soon.  The acidic tomato juice would hurt your healing tummy.  I waited about 4 weeks, then got the dietician's ok to have one of those little cans no more than once per day.

I am 17 days out and first craving around 6th 7th day was craving meat...once i started my protein shakes that has helped alot.....then like 10th and 11th day i was wanting chips and salsa....But remember what they said ..get a popsicle and think of something else.But I still think about my salsa...lol...Never Hungry though.
How are you feeling surgery wise now?
Have A  nice night.

still a little sore in the tummy area but not as much at first, other than that I much, much better then I did before surgery. my family doctor already took me off of my high blood presure meds.

Robert, stay away from tomato things! Let me tell you, ulcers stink (and hurt for that matter!) Hang in there, but give your tummy some more time to heal up before putting something that acidic in it.

Robert,

When I had my RNY they recommended no tomato products at all for the first 3 months. I couldn't wait to pass that 3 months! I was having trouble getting meat to go down so I wanted Ketup. I was a good girl and did wait. And the first time I use ketup? Ulcer!! And as Michelle said, ulcers are no fun at all. Most people are ok to have it after 3 months...for me, it was about double that before I could without any problems. And then I had to have a revision and start all over again. lol. Thank goodness for light miracle whip & light mayo!

I would really advise you to hold off on any citric fruit as well.

Nope to much acid... I would avoid it for awhile... You will crave lots of things for a while head hunger... I was really craveing fried chicken at first and went to Grays and got mashed potatos and gravy.. YUM satisfied that craveing with one teaspoon...

I live at martinsville and i keep thinking...man the fried chicken/dressing with gravey and the rolls are going to be hard for awhile...but the potatoes part sounds good. will have to remember that!

I'll stay away from it for awhile,
        Thanks everyone !!

Robert,   I understand the acid thing but honestly, I had a craving for tomato soup and since my food requirements let me have strained cream soups after two weeks I had some low fat creamed tomato soup. I of course couldn't eat much and drank water when I could after eating and I did fine with it. Just thought I would let you know.
