I went to my 4 week post op appt and my Dr told me I can go straight to solids but to only eat meats and leafy veggies and if I get hungry betweens meals then eat a cucumber or a dill pickle WTHeck? I haven't eaten a dill pickle since I was pregnant with my last child 9 years ago. After the initial shock I pulled my big girl panties up and headed right on over to the grocery store and bought a big jar of pickles lol. If it helps me lose the weight I want, then why not. Has anyone else been told to snack on dill pickles?

...and who thought a pickle thread would go quite this far??

See, I always LOVED pickles, particularly the extra crunchy and garlicy Claussen ones (when I couldn't get to a good deli and fish one out of a barrel, anyway) and used them as a snack all the time before surgery.

Now my taste buds are wacky and they taste too salty and too sour for me! I've tried a few different brands but no dice, they just don't do it for me anymore.

I will add that I was always told to limit pickles (and any other "free" food) to 3 or less a day because of the sodium, though, so watch that if you notice a small bump up on the scale.

Who knew and it's amazing how many different doctor and nutrionist's opinions there are.

Mmmmm piiiiiiiiicklessss (in my homer Simpson voice)

I have eaten more dill pix since I have been sleeved that in the decade before!!! It may sound gross, but I dice up pickle spears and add to cottage cheese along with black olives. Yummo!! Salty and tangy and very healthy. You'll never be able to convince me I am deprived of good food just because I've been sleeved. Kathe

OOh that sounds tasty! Have to try it. Love the Vlasic Snack'umms. They are small, but I can only eat most of one. But the taste is so good!
