Craving Pickles

Ok am I going insane? I wake up at night and crave pickels, I was never a pickle eater before surgery, is there some hidden vitamins or minerals that pickles have that my body needs.. or is my mind just trying to pick a food that it thinks I can have to replace chocolate... (((HUGS))) Dori

Dori,.... I used to crave viniger and mustard. I think it was cause I missed food with STRONG flavors. I used to peel the pickles and eat them at about 3 months post op.... WIsh I coudl fill you in more but... Erin *the CARB-o-holic* ugh

ok i thought i was going crazy, i too am craving pickles......dont know why either. i kinda chuckled when i read this post. if anyone has the answer let me know too.

Add me to the list!!! I've been wanting a sweet pickle for DAYS now. Mt. Olive makes sugar free pickles, but I know its too soon to try one. ONE DAY hopefully!

Me too! And olives! I also think it's our mouths were used to eating pretty bland foods for a while, and now our tastebuds are alive to these strong flavors. Just my guess! At least pickles aren't fattening!

OH NOooooooooooooooooooooo..... I'm craving Olives (green) and small tiny dill pickles too!!! Spicy foods, the hotter the better, and anything with kick. Before surgery- not a chance on any of it. NO olives, NO pickles, NO spicy Foods................... What is UP WITH THIS??? I have NO ideas. Other than change made change with our taste buds!!!
