Wednesday Question

What is something that you CRAVE regualarly, both before and after. And if you are pre-op just share your now cravings with us!


Right now I would have to say mine is Deviled Eggs, but talk about GAS... lol  :) Before it was to many to list. I like it all more so the not so healthy then the good things.  Like blooming onions!!!!

An easy question....  WATERMELON

thats easy for me I miss ice cream....

NO DOUBT ABOUT IT......GREASY PEPPERONI PIZZA

Pre-surgery:Stuffed crust Pepperoni Pizza and greasy fries from our hometown cafe that fried them in lard.

After: Nothing, really. Bosc pears (dirty looking ones) and salad from Johnnie's.

Lately I have been craving spinach.. I had a whole can yesterday! sometimes I crave beef.. which is so unlike me I am usually a chicken eater.

Before - popcorn and ice cream -- after - popcorn.  Yes, I confess.  Every once in a while I'll have some popcorn.   

I crave anything fried.  Before....I craved pretty much anything.  I am having an issue however with coming up with different foods to eat...I seem to be eating the exact same thing every day and I am getting sick of it.

Ok... pre-op, I craved the heck out of Bloomin' Onions from Outback Steakhouse.  I liked them overcooked and I could eat a whole one (and yes, I know the nutrition content of them... icky).  I also craved greasy hashbrowns from Waffle House and Chicken Crispers from Chilis.  Yeah, I had a thing for fried foods.

Now, I am big soup and seafood eater.  I am on a kick with gumbo right now and with vegetable soup.  I also like anything grilled, especially chicken and fish.  I love veggies, but I'm not a salad eater.  Weird, I know.  I love the fresh fish menu and grilled shrimp at Red Lobster right now and the soups at Red Lobster and Olive Garden the best.  I also don't eat red meat.

Pre-op I craved carbs and anything sweet.  I was totally addicted to carbs.  I thought I was dying my first day on the pre-op diet!

Post-op I MUST have afternoon coffee.  I drink decaf (most days- if really pooped and have to keep moving I do 1/2 caffeine) every afternoon.  Never in my life have I ever wanted coffee after my morning dose.  Weird!  Even in this heat I still want my afternoon coffee.
