Cravings

Does anyone ever have cravings that they didn’t have before surgery? The past few months I’ve been craving lemon like crazy, and I used to hate lemon things! I think it’s very strange. I made s/f lemon cheesecake cups at Easter, and they were yummy, but now the craving is back with a vengeance. I tried a lemon square over the weekend, nice and small, thinking it would squash it, but I think it made it worse LOL I’ll have to keep drinking lemon water to see if it goes away.
 
Just in general, I really crave vegetables. I don't know if this is due to the surgery or to due to my mindset of what I thought I wanted to do, but I just seem drawn to them, and that totally was not the case before surgery, and had you told me I would be almost entirely vegetarian after surgery, I would have laughed and said "no way." I don't think there is any one thing like lemons for me.

I think I'm actually shocked with what I don't crave, like beef and bacon and things like that. I find that even more shocking given the number of years they were both a major part of my diet.

I've always loved lemon so, so if you'd like to share a lemon square, that would be awesome. :)
 
I had half a piece of bacon yesterday and had to stop eating it because it was just too salty! I couldn’t believe it LOL I’ve always loved veggies more than fruit. If there’s a veggie tray out at a party I pretty much park myself there. I’m not the same with fruit because I find them too inconsistent. I think I’ll need to find a recipe for sf lemon curd. I’d put it on my protein waffles at breakfast! I still enjoy meat pretty much the same, but I don’t crave it, probably because I eat some kind of meat on a daily basis.
 
Lots of LEMMON! The ice pops are beautiful! (bored at work I should not look at this stuff)
