Craving....

[Sugarlump]

Bananas.

Sex.

In the same context ??    

No, at my local supermarket I can only purchase bananas.

You must be going to wrong supermarket then!!!!!!! 

[jbeany]

Where do you live, Sugar, that your supermarket sells sex?

[Chris]

If they do, do they except coupons, is there a sale of buy one, get one free, or some other sales tactic? 

[Sugarlump]

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     

I don't even like bananas

[Chris]

How about........soup?

[Sugarlump]

Just get me out of here Chris please

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!)

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  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!! 

(of course if he'd told me to go get a banana I may have looked at him askance....)

[Sugarlump]

Not bananas again ...
Actually when in Tesco's today they did have fresh strawberries....and that got me thinking ....

Gee, thanks for the great advice, Dr. Obvious.  I would have never thought of that on my own..... 

[Chris]

Sugarplum, was it next to the dairy aisle to? 
Never heard that about shopping though. Next time I go grocery shopping, I'll give it a try and report back. 

[Sugarlump]

Quite close to the fresh cream if thats what you mean!

For about 3 months post transplant I craved omelets, shrimp and raw almonds.  Overdid it numerous times. 

[Sugarlump]

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! 

[Chris]

  My body always tells me to stay away from seafoood. If I smell it, I get nausuous and if smell is strong,

[Sugarlump]

I lust after fresh lobster, crab and crevettes .....mmmm....better not sit at same table then Chris!!!!

[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!

[Sugarlump]

Wild cherry flavoured m and m's ...oh so want some pretty please 
Sure I can find something to swop with you....    

[Brightsky69]

Ooooh...wild cherry M&M's  Yum!

My fav is still the penut M&Ms

[Chris]

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.

[Sugarlump]

Post me one Chris....snail mail to the UK 

[Chris]

I lso have Trinidads, mint meltaways, and white chocolate pistashio....lol

[Sugarlump]

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!!!)         

[Chris]

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!

[Brightsky69]

Has anyone tried the Orep fudge creams?? I have seen the commercial and they look sooooo good.
