Hello, im 5 weeks out and I been craving hotdogs and pickles? can anyone tell me when i can eat this and there experience??

Im so confused and cravings are horrible. Thanks.

I think there must be a salt craving going around.....all I want is a grilled cheese and dill pickle. And I don't even really like dill pickles

Seems like somewhat phallic food. I would avoid hot dogs in general - there is SO MUCH crap in them. Check with the dr. about pickles though - the acidic content may be a lot for your stomach to handle. Are you even allowed solids yet?

try looking for a hotdog without nitrites....and opt for a chicken or turkey dog....i dont know about u...but i have been advised no red meat for 6 mos....and opt for relish for your pickle craving maybe??

You can eat both, as long as you chew them really well. Like another poster said, the pickle might be a little acidic for you. In my mushies stage, I would cut little bits of hot dog up and stir it into my cottage cheese to flavor it - yum! At this stage, you can only eat about 1/3 of a hot dog, so it can't be that bad for you

I'm starting week 5 myself and have been thinking of hot dogs too.....I usually cut up a bell pepper, and heat in skillet with the hot dogs, yum-yum.....can't wait!

I just want a chili dog really bad

My dietitian said pickles can be result in some discomfort. She said no matter how much you chew, the skin never really goes to mush. She said cutting the skin off would really help. [:

Try chopping up the hot dog adding in a hint of dill relish and make it like an egg salad, only a hotdog salad. Want chilidog? Do the same. Just be careful where you are in your diet phase so you do not cause any damage or make yourself sick. I was still eating mushies in my 5th week. Like suggestion of hotdogs with no nitrates or by kosher.

pickles were intense for me. I am 4 months out and they still are. I think its the skin. But they upset my tummy bad. i know it sounds nuts, but if i peel it, its not SO bad...but i LOVE pickles. and i miss them so lol. I am just now eating hot dogs, and i find that i can only do 1/3 to 1/2 of a dog. i know about the cravings lol...they can be hard to resist at times lol. I had my first dog about a week ago and it was like heaven. Crazy what we miss...lol. and its weird cuz sometimes, just a bite is all i need to get the fix on whatever i am cravin so bad.
