Ya know how we would crave ice chips while on dialysis. I was very big into ice chips while I was on dialysis.
I've noticed that after transplant I have developed a craving for gummie candy.
I like the gummy lifesavers, Welch's Fruit Snacks and plain old gummy bears. I never really craved them before.
Do you have any strange cravings since transplant?
-
I am eating WAAAAAAAY too much chocolate and nuts. My "baby bump" is expanding so that come nine months post tx I might JUST be ready to push one out!!! :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
-
:P Don't even mention that. I am growing a "baby bump" too. My appetite as been very healthy since my transplant.
-
You didn't hapen to see the other thread about a certain craving after transplant did you? :rofl; >:D

Oddly, I haven't chewed a single ice cube since I got home.
I went through a blueberry craving that was unstoppable for a while. I'm down to a pint a week, but that might have something to do with the quality of the off-season ones. I might start again when the good local ones are in season.
Now it's just chocolate I can't live without - but that was true before, so that's no change. I used to like sweeter stuff, like fudge - chocolate plus even more sugar. Even just chocolate in a candy coating like M&M's, but no more. Now the straight sugar candy just makes me gag and candy coated chocolate doesn't taste very good anymore.
-
I am into jello too... eating it not wrestling in it...Chris & MEL ;D
-
Food! After the transplant everything tasted better. My husband and I both gained weight. The thing I crave the most is chocolate and hummus. I could eat a whole tub with veggies. I thought I was doing really well eating that instead of other junk until my friend pointed out how much fat was in it.

Never would have thought of it till you mentioned it. However there isnever room for jello, not my type of thing to eat.
I can't think of any cravings I have, I always craved chocolate because I was told I couldn't have it as a kid when I was diagnosed with diabetes. Now that I had the pancreas partt of my transplant, it's all about trying different chocolate from around the world why I can.
Still waiting on my Chocodile Twinkies in the mail :stressed;

YUM!!!
I just craved FOOD in general after my transplant...I packed on a good 20lbs!!! Looking forward to it again the second time around!!!
xo,

I'm still trying to gain weight, but can easily loose it. With my transplant I no longer have the hunger feeling and can't eat a lot in one day. However I m really wanting my Chocodiles right now!

Now I can't get that thought out of my head Rightside!
Talk about the power of suggestion!
SEX and bananas with fresh cream, chopped nuts and chocolate sauce...I can't concentrate on the housework !!!! Phew! :P
-
Bette, I'm with you on the hummus thing!! Plus peanut butter!
-
Pistachios... I have been home for 4 days and I have eaten a 1/2 pound of dry roasted/salted pistachios. Magnesium, Phosphorus and Potassium, oh my! My labs yesterday said I need to eat more Magnesium, everything else was good range. I was also told to eat ice cream and chocolate...??????? THAT is a huge change. I need to take it easy, I DO NOT want to gain weight or get diabetes. I need to lose 50 pounds as it is. So, it seems that just like pre-transplant, post-transplant life will revolve around food and fluids... Ugh.
-
Trix, if you can manage not to gain while you are doing the first few months of transplant meds, you'll be doing far better than most of us!

I could go for a banana split now. I'll have to splurge 8$ for one for a real banana split, not the DQ version.
-
Chris, I wish I had your problem. Before the whole kidney thing I was one of those people who could never gain weight. Though that is frustrating, it's worse not to be able to lose weight.
Plus, now I want a banana split too. We have an oberweiss ice cream parlor around the corner from my house. YUM!
-
Not more bananas xx Think of the potassium !!!! :laugh:
I really want some strawberries tonight don't think they're in season anywhere at the moment. Pity could go for strawberries dipped in champagne...
my idea of heaven (You'd never want a banana again trust me)
>:D Have bottle of champagne in fridge if anyone can find some really good strawberries...

Losing weight is not good for me, makes me feel worse and complicates everything when I do. As for Oberweiss, that is who I was referrring to. Mine is across the street from my house. Good to live in a Cul de Sac, just walk out of house, cross the street and I'm there. However I do have multiple fast foods I could walk to also, but Sliders, Mc Donalds, Arby's, KFC just don't interest me most of the time.
-
I've lost my taste for fast food. Oreo Double Stuff cookies on the other hand.... ;D ;)

Oreo double stuff is the only way to go!
Also cold oreos seem to taste better to me for some reason.

Where do you live, Sugar, that your supermarket sells sex?
-
If they do, do they except coupons, is there a sale of buy one, get one free, or some other sales tactic? :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
-
Well its standard practise in England you know sell bananas with sex .... hell how did I even end up here???
I have no idea what I'm doing here or even why??? That 'll teach me to make random comments.
Somebody rescue me out of this conversation quick :sos; :sos; :sos;
I don't even like bananas >:(
-
How about........soup?
-
Just get me out of here Chris please ::)
-
Chris - cold Orea Double Stufff......the only way I like em ;D ;D

Why does this talk of supermarkets/bananas/sex remind me of the often quoted suggestion made around these parts that if you're a single guy and you want to pick up if you go to a supermarket and stick a banana upright at the front of your trolley or basket that is a sure sign to single ladies that you're available and ready to go?!?! (I kid you not!)

lol.
Anyway back to the weight gain I was talking to the neph today at clinic and he told me off for eating too much chocolate :rofl; Anyway he commented that post-tx while it's common to put on weight, what with the steroids and all as we all know, that because a lot of post-tx patients don't monitor or care about their weight so much (as opposed to constant weight monitoring while on D) that it was often easy to put on 10kg before you know ti, and then very hard to take that off again.
He told me "When you get a craving for junk, have an apple"
thanks sherlock, I would have never figured that one out!! :rofl;
(of course if he'd told me to go get a banana I may have looked at him askance....)
-
Not bananas again ...
Actually when in Tesco's today they did have fresh strawberries....and that got me thinking .... :P

Gee, thanks for the great advice, Dr. Obvious. I would have never thought of that on my own..... :sarcasm;
-
Sugarplum, was it next to the dairy aisle to? :-[ :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
Never heard that about shopping though. Next time I go grocery shopping, I'll give it a try and report back. :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
-
Quite close to the fresh cream if thats what you mean! :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
-
For about 3 months post transplant I craved omelets, shrimp and raw almonds. Overdid it numerous times. :laugh:
-
They say that when your body craves certain foods its because you lack particular vitamins and minerals, ie, bananas (again!) you would be lacking in potassium. So omelets eggs (Vitamin A and B2) , shrimp(Selenium and Copper) and almonds (Magnesium and Potassium) so actually not that crazy!!! Your body is telling you what it needs, neat! ;D
-
:puke; My body always tells me to stay away from seafoood. If I smell it, I get nausuous and if smell is strong,
-
I lust after fresh lobster, crab and crevettes .....mmmm....better not sit at same table then Chris!!!!
-
No you better not Sugarplum, it will be safer for both of us.
I got my Chocodiles and I am enjoying them! I shared them with the women in the medical records dept of my local hospital since they print my records for free, but also gave them some Godiva and Wild Cherry M&M's.
I can't wait for the ice cream flavors of chocolate from Godiva!
-
Wild cherry flavoured m and m's ...oh so want some pretty please :)
Sure I can find something to swop with you.... :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
-
Ooooh...wild cherry M&M's Yum!
My fav is still the penut M&Ms
-
It was one of my eBay buy's. Okarol told me about them so I bought them. I still have a few left out of 20.
-
Post me one Chris....snail mail to the UK :2thumbsup; :2thumbsup;
-
I lso have Trinidads, mint meltaways, and white chocolate pistashio....lol
-
Thought of you tonight Chris whilst I making dinner, beef stroganoff, poured the wine in and then opened carton of cream and managed to spill fresh cream all over me, driping off my fingers it was... and i thought where is Chris when you need him...
(sorry couldn't resist posting it!!!) :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl; :rofl;
-
Shitaki mushrooms sauteed in the wine would have been good with the strohganhoff as a side or top garnish. Never had stroganhoff made with wine though, sounds good.
I had Instant Lunch cup of soup (ramen like noodles with sparce amount of dried veggies with chicken broth that you add water). It was on sale and I should have gotten more. YLGuy had a case of them, good stuff!
-
Has anyone tried the Orep fudge creams?? I have seen the commercial and they look sooooo good. ;D

If your referring too the fidge covered Oreo's, then yesss. The white and reg fudge I have tried due to sale at Wally World (Walmart). I liked them cold so the fudge is crunchy.
-
Hot fudge is good specially with ice cream :)
-
That is one chocolate I'll pass on. Not a fan of it on my ice cream.
-
I had some smokehouse almonds the other day. ooooh so good... so bad(salty etc) but sooooo good! YUM!
I craved ice cream today from the New Zealand Natural place, but I exercised willpower and said NO and walked away.. tearfully.
my belly thanked me....
-
i have to give in to my desires every so often
.... >:D >:D >:D
-
RM, your sure that was your belly and not your kidney? ;D :rofl;
