Craving Mustard

I am 3 weeks post-op and I have noticed that since yesterday I have been feeling really hungry, like a few of you who have posted in the last day or so. I am also craving mustard really badly, I even ate a little on soft scrambled eggs and a little by itself. Did anyone else have mustard or any other weird cravings so soon?

I don't know that I would call mustard a weird craving.  I ate it pretty early out.  I took a slice of cheese, put a little spicy mustard on it, and rolled it up and ate it.

When I was 2-3 weeks post op I drank some pickle juice. Maybe with all the sweet stuff ie: protein, juice, sugar free popsicles, our bodies crave some sodium. Mustard has that also.

Funny things happen, my NUT just laughed and said it was clear liquids lol

 You guys may be on to something! The mustard and cheese idea sounds soooo good, and I have been attracted to the pickles too! I would have probably eaten them if I didnt think puree pickles would be yucky ha ha!

One of my first stand by soft foods was egg salad made with mustard and pickle juice...boy that was yummy!

 Well definitely eat as much mustard as you'd like! :)  When I was a child I used to put mustard on my mashed potatoes.

Hi,

Yep, I am addicted to spicy brown mustard and reduced sugar ketchup.  I love it on egg beaters.

I also love tomato sauce now.

Weird isn't it?

You might want to have your iron checked. I could eat a whole jar of dill pickles - couldn't get enough! I went to the doctor and she told me that you crave pickles when your iron is low. I guess that is why many pregnant ladies crave pickles. Could be the same with mustard.

I will keep the iron thing in mind! I had an appt with my Dr today and he said I was his first patient that said they were craving mustard and or vinegary food ha ha!

That's so funny you say that! I'm almost three years out and still have the same cravings. When I go with my DH to Sam's club he always gets the hot dog special and I grab one of those little 1 oz cups filled with relish and smother it with mustard and eat it like that...Yummmo! and it fills me up! LOL
