WHAT IS GOING ON?

I have never been a salt person and ever since my surgery I have craved salt a few times. Does anyone else do this or know what could be causing it? I also have been eating more the last 2 days. What is going on here? I got to get myself back in check. I finally hit the 100lb mark and now I am getting mad at myself for doing bad things again!!!! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'd e-mail a dietician to see what they say. Never hurts!

Thank you I just might have to do this if it doesn't stop! I am also really thirsty.

Jacque,

Wow..I have no idea why you'd be craving salt. Please let us know what your pcp thinks..ok? Now, as to being thirsty, I wouldn't be surprised if that is just because of the salt intake being increased.

I wonder if it isn't maybe a seasonal thing....? It seems like I crave the salty things more in the winter months. That's also when I'm less active so I have to watch my 'munchies' too. for myself, I think it's party out of boredom because I do it most when I am at home...and physically, there isn't much I can do right now.

Congrats on hitting the century mark!

Hi Jacque,

I can totally relate to the salt cravings. Just last week I bought some chips and french onion dip (and told myself it was for DH and the kids). I know I am not supposed to have french onion dip and I know I cannot have chips, but I decided to try one...just one. And then one more. Then the next day it was about 10!!! I was afraid I was headed down a really bad path, but it was just a little bump in the road that I feel REALLY quilty about.

It is out of my system now. I don't know what it was, but if you have any ideas I would love to know!!

Hi Jacque,
My salt level was low, so that was ahy I wanted/craved it so badly a few months ago. Found I was picking up the salt shaker & I hadn't used it for 4 yrs!!! I depend on the food already being salted, but went thriough a period where I could have licked a slat block! I would defijnately talk with your Dieticina. Drink plenty of water- it will help as well. Let us know what you find out!
Big (((((((((((hugs)))))))))) & congrats ON YOUR 100# WEIGHT LOSS- THAT IS TERRIFIC!!!
