Sure you're not pregnant as it sound like an odd combination? :icon_poke:

Funny what being in hospital does to your stomach.
I think it is normal from my experience.

Glad to see you're getting there.

So long and thanks for all the fish

Yep... About 5 days after surgery I was super hungry. And had a special taste for sweets/sugar... cookies, pie, etc. I also had a cold so I couldn't taste much, which also played a part in what I was eating. They say to feed a cold... And I did. :)

Pizza was the first thing I wanted. I got baked fish with rice instead. The hospital food was surprising good. You can always ask for Jello... Usually ok on a liquid diet. ;)

Yup. After my srs I was craving all kinda of wacky stuff like a cheeseburger medium rare with extra pickles and a side of cheese cake ice cream instead of fries

Pickles, ice creme and hot fudge, what a great combination.  Just like our cis counterparts the hormonal changes can cause cravings.  The body needs what it needs.

What do you mean?  Dill pickles and ice cream are superb together.  Have you never had a "hamburger sundae"?



Seriously though, hormonal changes in a pregnant females body have been cited as the cause for unusual cravings.  Likewise, your hormones may be in flux as well.

Stay away from the zoo, please, for Janet's sake.

I ate my way home on about 15 types of sausages!!  Bangers, bratwurst in about 6 flavors, knockwurst, Danish apple sausage, polish sausage, and an ordinary hot dog or two and what ever elso they were.  (We spent a couple of nights on the road at some ethnic based communities on the way home). 
I refuse to have a war of wits with a half armed opponent!!

Wiser now about Post Op reality!!
