I don't believe my body has registered that I'm not pregnant anymore yet.. I very intensely want

-cherry coke.
I don't drink soda except very rarely when I have a bad headache or am at a place that doesn't offer juice or tea. I do like IBC root beer ocassionally

And
-pineapple!
Oh my sweet, sweet, pineapple!! I want you so badly!!

And 3rd craving?
smoothies. Oh I want tropical smoothie so badly lol

4th: mint chocolate chip!! Anything mint chocolate chip

I want the two things together. Like I could put the pineapple in the cherry coke and be just fine lol.
Anyone else? I am breastfeeding .. But I don't remember having crazy cravings with my first while breastfeeding lol . Please tell me I'm not alone?

Re: Crazy cravings!

  • I'm having more cravings now than I did when I was pregnant. I want sushi and anything sweet.

  • Must. Eat. All. The. Food!

    Not really having weird cravings but I'm sooo hungry all the time! Especially when little Man nurses a lot. Unfortunately I haven't been able to shed these last few lbs, probably cuz of my crazy appetite! :-)
  • I thought I was just imagining cravings!! Thank goodness I'm not alone. While I was pregnant I craved milk ALL the time (I'm lactose intolerant but for some reason I wouldn't get an upset tummy) and I'm STILL craving it except now that I've given birth it RUINS my stomach. Weird!! Plus after pumping I'm starving.
  • I keep wondering why I'm still having intense cravings. I majorly want a burger and fries! Thank goodness I get it Monday when we go out to eat for dh's birthday.
  • So constantly hungry and craving everything! But I'm 5.5 weeks postpartum and this is just starting now. So weird. I had very little appetite and zero cravings all pregnancy. My body is confused.
  • I def have more cravings now than I did when I was pregnant!
  • I have forgotten to eat lunch at least twice this week, but I haven't forgotten my cookie craving!! I am a cookie monster right now! I can't get enough, and it doesn't even matter what kind.

  • I guess im the weird one! I get hungry, but crave nothing so I could care less what I eat. On a positive note it has made getting back to eating extremely clean so easy!!

    Anyone else get insanely thirsty while breastfeeding?! I'm drinking more now than when I was pregnant.. But peeing a whiole lot less ;) drinking more fluids.. Not alcohol lol
  • @bhargrave88 yes! Sooo thirsty. All day and night.

    This! I'm proud of myself as I'm not having any cravings (thank goodness) which has also made my healthy eating journey easy to jump back on!

  • I have been way hungrier PP than I was when I was pregnant! Also, I barely had any cravings while pregnant and I am constantly craving different drinks now... Especially soda and I've never been a big soda drinker.
  • I have cravings too.. My biggest is Apple juice. Since giving birth that's all I want. I can't believe it..

    I hate juice!

    I drank so much apple juice the first week after delivery! I wonder if it's got a certain vitamin or something that our bodies need(ed).

    I find myself always craving bubbly/carbonated drinks!
  • I have no appetite for regular food, and sometimes I'll go most of the day barely eating anything because nothing sounds good. But I'm always wanting cookies, ice cream, or chocolate. My sweet tooth will be the death of me.
  • I only had cravings at 8-9th month of pregnancy. But now pp, I have the strangest cravings for crap I never ate before. I say crap because the other day it was hamburger helper... who eats that garbage?!?!? Well I did.... felt gross afterwards
    And donuts. .. sour cream donuts. ALL THE TIME.
