salt

Has anyone else had intense salt cravings? Ever since my surgery almost a year ago. I used to fill my salt shakers every couple months now its every couple weeks. I don't retain a ton of water except for TOM and my sodium and potassium levels are on the low end. Blood pressure is totally normal too. I love my cucumbers with salt and its like give me a salt lick with them to be happy. I just can't seem to get enough.

I have found myself highly sensitive to salt now.  Even a small amount of processed food (which is usually high in sodium) can affect my scale the next day!  So even though I used to salt almost everything without tasting it first, I now don't use the salt shaker at all.  It took a little getting used to, but it's much heathier.  I think new cravings are fairly common after banding (or maybe it's because of the reduced amount of food).  I LOVE spicy stuff now!
