Question:
Specific Cravings after Surgery

For the past two weeks I have been on this rasin kick. I absolutely love them! If I want a snack, I eat rasins. Now I am concerned that they may not be a good food choice. I am seven months post op and doing great. I have also grown fond of peanut butter and banana sandwiches (think next time I will put rasins on top of the peanut butter and bananas - yummy!). I haven't had this kind of addition to any one particular food before and I am not expecting. Anyone out there post op who has strange cravings?    — [Anonymous] (posted on January 10, 2002)

i thought i was nuts. lol. i crave all the high protein foods i am supposed to be eating now that i am post op! my favorite candy is sitting in the refrigerator & i never even think about it. of course sugar for me is a no no cause i dump on it big time but, i find that thinking about what it tastes like just doesnt 'turn me on' any more.
