just curious....do pickles cause problems???:hungry:

I eat them and don't have a problem, but I do chew the really good!

I had a pickle yesterday and I have 2 pickles for snack today.

Pickles are great for curing a craving (when you're not sure what you want). Sometimes when I eat one of those big dill pickles I get a belly ache. As far as the band is concerned, as long as I chew well I don't have any problems. They are loaded with salt though and you might be more likely to retain water. The vinegar is good for you.

I cannot tolerate the skin on them. but do love the inside!

I cannot tolerate pickles.

I eat them quite often and never had any problem whatsoever. Just remember to chew them well (as with all other stuff you eat...)

niki

Gooooood, especially the cruncy dill ones

I love sour pickles:hungry: , but I do not eat the skin. Like with alot of things, I get scared and just spit it out so it doesn't get stuck.

Pickles are not a problem for me.

bad for me---- they were my favorite food too

I like pickles but my band does not!

If I eat a pickle w/ skin I get sick sick sick, But I love pickles and eat the insides lol.Also the baby kosher sweet pickles do well w/ me skin and all I buy the crunchy ones.

I have not had a problem with pickles. I ate one pickle spear very slowly. I have also eaten 3 or 4 hamburger slices slowly.

1 pickle is around 1800 mg sodium. (I am on a 2000 mg sodium restriction because of kidney problems.) American Heart Association recomments EVERY person eat less than 2300 mg sodium. That is almost equivalent to one pickle. So you decide if it's healthy or not. lol

I was able to eat 2 slices of bread & butter pickles with the skin. I chewed & chewed....no problems. I don't think I would want to eat too many though. Everything in moderation.
