Thank you everyone. As I write this reply I am tearful because of such support and best wishes amongst strangers. This forum shows no race, age or economic bias that I have seen. What a wonderful forum and great group of people.
Thank you!

I actually had a spear 9 days from my surgery and I was fine (sleeved 3/24) I also bought the pops - I haven't frozen them I just drink the juice when I have that craving...

They were so good...its 745am and i took a sip of the juice..lol..i swear so far its the only thing that has really hit the spot of what i wanted...I dont know why but alot of the things like the Jello, broths, even the Vitamins are kinda making me alittle queezy now and i feel like i can taste out the unflavored protin powder in everyrhing im have to mix it with and that really is also making me nauseous..dmh..i know ima mess..lol.....So i just try to get it down when i have to, but its like 1 of those things that i know later on im not ever want again...When i was pregnant i ate so much chinese food that now i wont eat it ever, i just cant..Well any whoo, the pickle and juice is really satifying...im a vinegar lover....I cant wait to get my big jar of pickled veggies, Mmmm cant wait :0) Sent from my SM-N910P using the BariatricPal App

I'm laughing at the pickle sucking images that come to mind......
Glad you feel relieved.
Later on....after you advance onto solid foods you'll be able to enjoy them with no problem. They come as sides to a lot the stuff I order at work cafeteria or in restaurants......chicken sandwiches, burgers, etc. I'll eat the burger or chicken and then have the pickle as sort of a dessert. Works for me.
Hang in there.....you are going to be amazed at how easy this wls is to live with down the road. So easy to find a way to win.

I used the pickle pops in the first couple of weeks post-op too. Really helped with the savory craving and helped get in some fluids. Very high in salt (which I am sure you know) so I probably wouldn't have more than 1 a day (post-op I mean).

blend that pickle! You can blend pretty much ANYTHING even early out. I blended 5 goldfish crackers b/c I was sure I was gonna scream if I had one more sweet (jello/protein drinks/popcicles) thing to eat

You know what's crazy?? I'm now 11 days out and I have been craving pickles for a few days now. I think it might be our bodies telling us we need more salt??

Omg im so happy, well im sorry....but so happy some1 else understands what ive been going through...I had surgery on the 14th and same thing, woke up in recovery very nauseous and in pain, crying and dry heaving...Instead of morphine they gave me dilated (not sure i spelt that right) and it knocked me out, everytime i could have it they gave it to me because i was miserable and in pain...So in return i wanst walking and the gas built up, ive continued to be in pain in my chest, back, shoulders and of course stomach and along with my 7 incisions...Unfortunately for me nothing helped but time...9 days now and i still am blowded and have the pains just not as intense....i asked for more pain meds and they said no because it will not help with the gas...its really been the worst part of it all...i had 3 c-sections so i expected this to be a walk in the breeze, boy i sure was wrong...smh...i wish there were something i could tell u to do but i cant, only time....

You're thirsty cause this isn't enough Fluid. I was given a minimum of 64oz. In order to do that I had to sip every moment from the second I woke up in the morning. I did not go to bed till I had gotten in 64oz. My Protein smoothies were 24-32 oz and the rest was pedialyte, Water, diluted Vitamin water, diluted juice, and since I had an easier time getting in warm fluids I drank a lot of broth and herbal tea.
