Craving Salt and Vinegar
Hi~
July 19 will 8 years since I had Gastric Bypass. Here in about the last 3 weeks or so, I have been craving salt and vinegar like CRAZY!!!! I do not know what is wrong with me. I lost over 300lbs and in the last 3 1/2 years, I started drinking beer and became an alcoholic and have gained about 50lbs back. I know I have iron deficiency anemia and last year, after passing out, was hospitalized and had to have 2 units of blood.

There's also salt and vinegar almonds. I also crave salt and vinegar things so the almonds and pork rinds are good finds.
As for your alcoholism and anemia, you do know what's wrong. They are fixable. Maybe not easy, but fixable. Best wishes on getting back to health.
