 |  Wierd food cravings?
OK so i guess i am in the second phase of my cravings. In the first phase, I craved meat (chicken, beef- preferable steak lol) Now I'm onto bacon. I dont get it. I HATED bacon. It used to make me burp ALL DAY LONG (lol sorry if thats too much info) but lately, i'd say the past two or three weeks I have wanted bacon almost daily? 
anyone else have wierdo cravings that they want to share?

|  Kenyar....I can relate. lol
Yah, it is very weird isn't it. Before surgery, you would never have seen me eating liver. Just seeing that floppy stuff wanting to make me  . Now, as a matter of fact, I had it yesturday for lunch. I love it. Pork is another thing. Before, I couldn't even stand the smell of it cooking. It actually gagged me, except for bacon or ham. Anything else on a pig.....FORGET IT. Now, I eat everything that goes along with a pig except for pork steak. I just think that stuff is a little too fatty for my taste. lol So, yah, it is very weird how the buds change after surgery. On the flipside, I used to love yogurt before. I still do, but it does not agree with me at all.  If I have any at all these days, it better just be a teeny tiny taste, or I will suffer. lol Very weird once again. Glad to hear from ya again. Me as well, now that I got puter fixed once again.  mike

Kenyar,
You are probably craving the FAT in the bacon because you are burning fat so quickly. I will always remember going through Army basic training and eating butter sandwiches - one slice of bread with 8 pats of butter!!! I was burning so much fat because of all the physical workout.

Boy has WLS has changed my taste buds. I actually like tofu, sushi and other food I would never even try. I do crave red meat alot, I think it is because I really limit myself on eating it though. I do make sure I keep my protein up.
Watch out for the sweet tooth though, I do get that esp. at with my pms... My favorite snack is Honey Almond Crunch (i get it at Costco). Moderation is key always keep that in mind.
Cravings will come and go,
Cori

Funny thing is i use to love tureky bacon and now when the family makes it I get all wierd and dont like the smell of it. and dont even watn to eat it. Like Kenya has said before, they have rewired us.

I'm only about 4 months out and find that one thing I used to love was chicken and now unless its real small pieces in something, I don't like it at all. Doesn't set well at all no matter how its prepared. Also I used to be able to consume a container of cottage cheese without blinking, I just threw away a 1/2 container that I didn't finish. Now that's weird! LOL
