Cravings Changed! What's up w/ that??

Pre surgery I ALWAYS craved salty things, chips, pretzels, nuts etc... now for the last month or so I have been craving chocolate like crazy!!!!! I admit I tried some, wasn't sure if I would get sick or not, just had 2 bites of chocolate. Why would my cravings change? And now that I didn't get sick on a couple bites how do stop myself from eating it again??!! I CANNOT let this get out of control just 7 months out from surgery!!!

My taste has changed as well as cravings. I guess I'm a little weird (I already know that!) because I crave fresh veggies and veggies that I have never cared for before I crave. I also like organic foods now and my sense of smell has really intensified. Just me??

I think most people have taste changes post WLS. There are quite a few things that I've never liked before that I adore now. Its very tough to fight against chocolate. Best of luck to you.

You know, I personally am very afraid to 'go there' with the sweets and things that got me into this mess in the first place.  I hope someday I will be able to enjoy 'A' piece of chocolate and not feel like I want the whole bag etc but until then I'm learning to like and enjoy healthy things.  Amazingly enough I'm starting to enjoy veggies and lean protein.  All of which, I assure you has been a foreign concept up until now.  I'm trying to positively reinforce myself on that track.  :)
