Hola a todos, entonces tuve mi cirugía de vesícula biliar el sábado y desde entonces tengo unas ganas serias de azúcar. Nunca he tenido antojo de dulces y no he tomado azúcar en mi té ni en el café en más de 20 años. Ni siquiera como nada con edulcorante porque no me gusta el sabor. ¡Ahora lo único que quiero es algún weetabix o algo cubierto de azúcar! ¿Alguien más ha tenido antojos después de la extirpación?
Hola Sam,
eso es realmente raro... me extirparon la vesícula biliar en febrero de 2016 y ahora tengo antojo de sal... nunca le he añadido sal a mi comida, pero ahora encuentro que quiero sal en todo... :-)
I think it might be connected to the liver which metabolises glucose/ glycogen. Not sure how Gb ties in with it but will look into some research when I have a minute. I've still got a Gb (on a waiting list) but have had blood sugar swings and cravings maybe as my Gb is scarred so not working.
Struggling to cut down on the sweet stuff as I know it is not good but I cannot eat many foods now so I think it is the body's way of trying to get energy. Are you able to eat normally otherwise?
Para ser honesta, no tengo mucho apetito. Me han dicho que coma poco y a menudo y, como estuve en una dieta sin grasa durante tanto tiempo, que reintroduzca las grasas muy lentamente. Aunque aún no me he atrevido a hacerlo.
Guessing you need the calories then. Maybe when you are able to eat more variety, you will not crave sugar so much? I hope to be able to eat better post op (eventually - I know you have to be careful at first) as the last 7 months have been rough, living on only a few foods and I had no appetite, though the last few weeks have been a little better. I ate low carb mostly in the last few years, but when things flared up badly, could only really tolerate carbs. It does seem to alter your blood chemistry, having Gb disease.
They say to avoid foods with the long chain fatty acids in them - this is usually what we think of as fast or junk food as these are the worst.
Hope you can get back to how you want to be soon.
PS I just read something that suggests you could have a mineral shortage if you crave sugar, so a vitamin/ mineral supplement might be worth trying??
Gracias por la información, Cynthia. Voy a ver a la enfermera hoy para revisar las incisiones, así que definitivamente preguntaré y te haré saber
I had my gallbladder removed two days ago.. Not hungry at all. I suffer with sugar issues..not a diabetic . However I am a health freak and never ever ate junk food..occasional indulgence -yes. That would intail once in two months-pizza a beer night. I work out and I'm 53 yr old female. I live a very active life style. All that I've read was people gaining weight and just horrible stories. I am thinking that they never lived a healthy life prior. How can one just think and or assume they can eat rap and expect to lose weight. Well not I. So my questions is had you had any weight issues-if you life a healthy and I mean a real healthy lifestyle. Advise is always welcomed and of course I take all information with a grain of salt. thank you in advance.
I am 15 days post-op and I am going through the exact same thing. I woke up from surgery with zero appetite. ZERO. It hasn’t really returned except for craving sugar. I wasn’t a sweet eater prior or surgery. I would have a bite or two of something sweet and that is all I would want. But now I really enjoy it. Did anyone ever figure out what is up with the sugar craving?
hi,
I am just over 4 weeks post op and my cravings have been for fruit and vegetables. I have eaten meat and tolerated it well, but have a preference for more vegetable based dishes I cannot tell you how many oranges I have consumed! Interestingly, during both my pregnancies, many years ago, I also had strong cravings for fruit, in particular bananas, peaches and apples
The variation of experiences following this surgery is quite striking. Perhaps, as previously mentioned, our bodies are telling us what we are deficient in or what we need to heal .
