Re: Ornish diet and other questions

Blair, I do crave veggies and fruit. I get my fruit in my smoothie and I am

just starting to get my veggies mainly in soups and really mashed carrot and

potatoes. I dream about eating a tomato out of my garden,

But IM not ready yet. Im trying to be somewhat good. Sweets after my first

one do not appeal to me at all. Actually Im tired of yogurt because it is

sweet.

Yes, but you should mention you are only about 2 weeks post op, too.

I wasn't being a smart aleck or making any kind of dig about you

being only two weeks out. You must have missed the previous (long)

post I wrote, same subject, and the P.S.

The point was that people only seem to crave vegetables during the

time they are on the liquids. I " craved " vegetables, too,

during the first 2-3 weeks, especially, when I was on nothing

but soups, jello, juices.

But I *don't* crave them now that I'm eating real food again.

That was the point. I haven't heard from anybody who " craves "

vegetables (who didn't crave them before surgery) who craves them

now, if they are more than a week or so past the stage where they

were taking nothing but liquids.

Kind regards,

Hey Barbie,

What's up????? You don't sound too happy today!!!!! Give the weight

loss a chance,

you'll probably drop several pounds all at once and then you'll be fine. You

know the one thing I've really been wanting is pizza. I've had a real

variety of food so far but I haven't gotten around to the pizza yet.

Everything seems to be sitting real well. I just don't have much of an

appetite. I am really trying not to obsess about what I eat but I think once

I try something I want it satisfies me and I move on to the next food item

to try. My Pokeno group met tonight and I brought my gatorade and watermelon

and passed up the wonderful desserts that the hostess prepared. I was afraid

that if I sampled any I might get sick and I would have to go home.

Hang in there.....it has to get better.

Best Wishes,

Genz

Hi ,

Funny you should say that. I kept commenting to my hubby that I wondered

when the craving for salads and veggies would kick in! Now I'm two months

post-op and while I can't say I crave veggie in general, I do crave salads!

I especially crave Oriental Chicken salad! Go figure. I did not crave

salads before surgery. I liked them well enough, but never craved them.
