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?

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 ;-)

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.< /p>

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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
