When can i have pickles? I'm craving them

I started having pickles last month, OMG those sour pickles were tasty!

Pickles contain vinegar which helps stabilize the sugar levels in our blood. Acetic Acid in pickles helps reduce the amount of insulin released in our body! Depending how far post op you are, this is a nice, low cal snack. If you are tolerating other solid foods well, give it a try. If you are worried start with the inside flesh and leave the skin. Just remember to chew well!

I can't wait to have pickled okra! Mmmm

As with everything when things are allowed varies widely based on your dr. I personally started eating pickles blended into my tuna salad during mushies at 2 weeks post op. Good Luck.

I started eatting pickles at about 4 weeks and I have been eatting a lot of them! I loves them before my SX but now I seem to love them even more!!!

I couldnt have pickles until I was probably 7 weeks out.. and I can only have the no sugar added bread and butter chips.. which for me were my favorite to begin with.. and now I can have those and they are so delicious.

Wow that's great information!! Thank you

Now I can say my pickle cravings have a purpose hehe

I crave pickles and olives a lot!

Insides of the pickles are the best, anyway

So glad to hear.... Love zesty pickles..

Omg pickles!!!! I miss pickles so much!! I still have my band in until my revision in May and pickles are a guaranteed "stuck" food with my band so I haven't had pickles in YEARS and they have been one of my favorites since I was a toddler!!! I didn't even think about being able to eventually eat pickles again! You guys just made my day!!!

Once upon a time there was a fair maiden who was put on a pre-op diet for 10 days before her VSG. There were only about 10 foods on her approved list of foods to consume. On of those items was pickles. The fair maiden was tickled to death that there was no limit on how many pickles she could eat in any given day.

So the diet progressed, and the fair maiden went to the store and purchased a large container of large whole dill pickles! Everyday mid-afternoon she would eat one of those dill pickles.

One day when the pre-op diet was working the fair maiden's last nerve, she ate two pickles. One in the afternoon, and one in the evening. After taking the last bite of the second pickle, the fair maiden started feeling an uneasiness in her stomach. Soon she was writhing in pain. After an hour of misery, the fair maiden hurled.

Yes, the fair maiden is me. I learned some very valuable lessons that day, like...there is such thing as too many pickles in a day! And dr's allow pickles as a free food on pre-op diet, because it would kill you to consume any more than a 100 calories from them. Finally, I learned that pickles are the devil.

Mmm... Claussen pickles

My love affair is with green olives lol

I crave them all the time!
