Susan's Place Transgender Resources

They really need to put a surgeon general warning on HRT.  Never in my entire previous life did I have cravings like this.  Like, leave the house at 3am to get a jar of pickles bad!

Now I know it's because the body needs something and is telling you subtly, or I guess in my case not so subtly...


Question:

What kind of crazy mad scientist cravings have YOU had?




Oh, and a very nice resource that was given to me last night.

"What kind of crazy mad scientist cravings have YOU had?"

I always wanted an illudium Q-36 explosive space modulator! Hugs, Devlyn

Chips. I never really liked chips before. The first few months on hrt, I could not get enough chips.

that's me with pickles... they grossed me out till about two weeks after I started HRT..

ice creme,  especially dark raspberry with dark chocolate chunks.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm   Now I need to get some dill pickles, hot fudge and orange sherbet.

I get some really bad sugar cravings sometimes.

Pickles here too... but only the half-sour ones. Has to be the high salt content I think combined with the acidic taste. Also chocolate, which I used to hate with a passion. And lots of fresh fruit too.
???

OMG Gummy bears! I can't have enough gummy bears lately... especially the white ones. lol And i never liked them b4.

Thanks for the reference btw  :)

my pleasure ;)  I feel like I can't stop eating... and with my metabolism QUICKLY diminishing, I'm seeking out healthy alternatives, and so that guide is a lifesaver for me!

hormones give you cravings? woah!

Yes! And, they mess with your metabolism. Mine went way up. I can't eat enough food now.

...and these cravings are limited only to food?  ;)

Wow yeah I've been noticing that just over the past week I've been RAVENOUS.  :o I was hoping it'd go away cause I just lost a ton of weight and I'm afraid to eat... lol

Seconded!   ;D

I've got cravings too, and I'm not on hormones!

Is there anything wrong with me? should I get hormones in order to normalize myself?

I had cravings before HRT.. but these are like drop what you're doing and bolt to the store right meow cravings... worse than nicotine withdrawals bad. lol

ICE CREAM!
Seriously. I never cared for it before. It is actually my weakness now :p

Me too! Only I always liked icecream I just like it even more now!

The message is do not succumb to the cravings. Think of the consequences. My craving is estrogen LO

Cravings? Just food. I eat... then I eat some more. Then I go watch TV and eat. Then I go eat whatever is left. Then I'm hungry before bed, so I eat. Then I wake up starving and eat. I feel 13 all over again sometimes.

lol!  I know that feeling!
