So before the sleeve I craved sweets and carbs in general. Today I'm craving dill picke juice or cucumbers in vinegar and oil. I admit to taking a swig out of the ole pickel jar. I had my sleeve on 5-15-2012 and my stomach is just a tad upset. Anybody else craving strange stuff?

I was sleeved on May 10th. I craved pickles too. I wonder if it's the salt? Also, peanut butter. I am not giving in on peanut butter because of the fat content.

I was sleeved on 1/18/12 and I noticed that I was constantly craving pickles 1 week right after surgery . I spoke to my doctor and he said that I might be a lil low on sodium intake and , thats why my body had salty craving ..... It kinda did make sense to me .

IDK....I always enjoy a nice glass of kosher dill pickle juice....seriously! LOL!!!! I think I'd be careful this soon out though. We will see tomorrow!

How bizarre! i was sleeved on 4/10/12 and i've been eating dill pickles, cucumbers in vinegar, sour grapes and sour strawberries. It seems like i can't get enough of the sour....not craving anything else just these things. This may be stupid but can you eat too many strawberries and grapes? Once I start i can't stop and find myself nibbling on these, especially grapes throughout the day. Not sure if this is starting a bad habit..

Thought I was officially crazy. I searched the forum for pickles as I am craving them (sleeved 5/16). When can I have them between the acidity and seeds?

I started eating pickles about 3 weeks post op just because I was afraid of the possible heartburn. As far as the seeds I wouldn't worry. They're not really raw anymore like strawberry seeds or whatever (though those don't worry me either) so enjoy I have the worst salt cravings now too... rarely ever want sweets or chocolate anymore thank God!

I got sleeved on 6/4... I have always loved pickles but now I think I love them more. I can't wait to have puréed tuna salad with a little pickle juice. Yum

I have craved pickles, pickle juice, lemons and salt and tons of sour things since day 1 out of surgery. I thought it was sodium related, but I am getting in more than enough and still crave it. So I have no idea what is going on with that, But I usually have at least 1 small dill pickle or lemon wedge with salt each day.

I have also craved more saltier, vinegar (y) things since being sleeved also- Havent given into eating chips but have eaten pickles with no problems and that seems to satisfy it completely... plus they are NO calories and fill you up quite nicely..

I craved vinegar when I was pregnant but the doctor told me it was because I was anemic. I wonder if it is the vinegar in the pickle juice that you crave. Vinegar is a sugar that has the reputation of balancing body ph by reducing acid levels in the blood. I'm wondering if the surgery increases acidity in some way...perhaps the anesthesia or the healing process causes ph imbalances?

Ugh I dunno I want a pickle so bad.
