What food do you crave?
Before surgery, I'd have many cravings. But since surgery, the one food I crave more than any is beans! Seems I can't get enough of them. Tonight I got home from work and found myself making a Bean Stew out of navy beans, cabbage, tomatos and miniature cheesy meatballs. I just better not take it to work for lunch. Could prove disastrous ;) lol
I crave pretty much the same things I craved pre-op, and for the most part, I allow them as much as they fit into my protein-first eating. Snow crab legs are my FAVORITE! I don't eat them very often, but heck - I can buy just a few legs and I'm good! Pre-op, me, Rich & Bailey usedtacould eat 8+ lbs!!
The one thing I find myself wishing I could have but I won't go there - a McDonald's double cheeseburger. Haven't had a cheeseburger in over a year now! Even tho a bit of bread is going down better than it used to, I still avoid it.
Oh - and Crystal Farms Pepperjack Cheese. It's like a staple for me since WLS! Which is funny, 'cuz I'm pretty sure I never even tried the stuff before!
Imperfect does not = unsuccessful
I really hate to admit this - but I did have a double cheeseburger from White Castle a couple weeks ago. My kitty ate most of the bread, but that was the best burger I've had in ages! I just know I can't do that very often - maybe twice a year. At least I don't really crave burgers like I do beans :)
I have been craving popcorn- use to be I'd have a bowl a couple nights a week- my daughter still does and it smells soooo good- but 3 weeks post op- Not a chance-
Curious though- how does popcorn work for others? Can you tolerate it or not?
