Has anyone had a strong sodium craving and it ending up being a RPS?

I've been loving green olives for the past few weeks and for a week or so ate them with every meal. I've forced myself not to eat them because I'm concerned about how much sodium they have.

Another thing I've been excessively eating is hard-boiled eggs! hard-boiled eggs and olives are my current faves. I've limited eggs as well because I'm also concerned about eating too many eggs! I'm talking about 2-3 eggs a day. about a dozen a week? Nothing on them just peel and eat.

Maybe it's just a vitamin thing- I had gastric bypass in March so maybe I'm just lacking protein or something.

any one else have this weirdness?

LOL! I didn't get any cravings with my DD until a bit later in pregnancy.
I hope it IS a symptom for you though :). I have read about women craving either salty or sweet in pregnancy, there is even an old wives tale where if you crave salty stuff you are having a boy and if you crave sweets you are having a girl. Didn't work out for me because I wanted salty stuff (when I did get cravings) and I had a girl!
And yes you might crave protein too, know one woman who wanted lots of it when she was pregnant! Was funny, she's like, I just want steak with a side of steak! lol!

Well I had some serious cravings with my kids. I remember being barely 3 or 4 months pg and craving sodium/salty items when I was pg with my son - hot dogs especially!! When I was pg with my daughter, Reeses Peanut butter Cups! So maybe the old wives tale is true! LOL!! But hopefully this means something for you! Mine usually didn't start until at the earliest - 3 or 4 months pg. But everyone is different. Good luck!
