Pickles <3

I would definitely stay away from pickles in your current phase. Later on, they are okay. They are a tasty, low calorie snack, but the salt content is quite high, especially in the claussen hearty garlic ones, which are my favorites!

I'm probably going to be slaughtered on here for saying this but I have had a pickle. (I am on my blended food phase fixing to start my soft food phase tomorrow-surgery june 18th). I bought baby dill pickles. I chopped off both ends of it and threw those away. I took tiny tiny bites and chewed chewed and chewed some more. I handled it good and it took me a long time to wat it ( just because I was scared ) I put them in my tuna fish salad as well. Good luck to you!

Where's my axe?!?!?! JK. If you look around a bit you'll see that I've done my fair share of cheating. I simply don't advise people to cheat themselves.

If someone hurt themselves based on advice I gave, I'd feel horrible.

I ate pickles pretty early out too. I craved them sooo much. I got the mini dill ones and ate maybe 1 a week or so. But my phases were pretty short too. So I was on soft foods by 4 weeks out.

I'm reviving this thread.

I'm about to lose it over fermented and pickled cravings!

In the past when I had dental work, I had used a potato peeler on a pickle before, on the large pickles, and then sliced them down the center and used a spoon to scoop out the seeds, as you would when preparing a cucumber for a Waldorf salad, or something.

Only I have not tried to eat a pickle yet because I am scared it will go into my sleeve and feel like I drank battery acid. *cry* This is terrifying me. I do not want to throw up or feel a burn. I'm on week 4, maybe 4.5 post op. So you guys are Veterans now.

"Bubbies Pickles" at my local Whole Foods are amazing!! They are authentic fermented pickle, not vinegar pickle. Then, I love this vinegar based brand called "Best" pickles from Texas. Both make me so happy! SO. HAPPY. I love homemade sauerkraut. Right now I'd be happy with just the juice in those bags of pickles and kraut!!

UPDATE" My nutritionist said I can try to sip the juice, see how I feel. =D

I'll call my nutrionist. Even if she says it's ok ... I really am worried it will burn it.

I have FIbromyalgia and I can tell you where every single staple and suture line is inside my body. It's the strangest disorder. Developed in my late 20s. I am aware if a fly farts in a nearby town. =(

PS So am I going to burp forever too?

I had the lap band in 2008, it prolapsed above my stomach, removed in 2011. I just now had my Gastric Sleeve.

around the middle of my third week i tried a bite of a dill spear. chewed it like mad and it was fine. by the end of the week i worked my way up to around a half or a little over of a small spear. no problems for me at all. went down fine and also no reflux. i just try not to have too much of it since it really has no nutrional value.
