I'm 3 weeks out will the pickles bother me?

Remember that scene from Aliens where the creature pops out of...

Just kidding - I had egg salad/chicken salad at 3 weeks out, but I'm just some yahoo on the internet. Ask your doctor for the final word.

Where are you food wise? At 3 weeks I was still on liquids.

I was on soft foods at 3 weeks, OP might be as well.

I guess I don't think of ham salad as soft unless you chop it up good in the food processor. Then I would think the pickles would be fine as long as you didn't add a lot of them.

I'm imagining ham salad the same consistency of chicken or tuna salad - not sure i'd want it any other way.

I've never heard of ham salad.. What is it?

It all depends on how your Dr. is progressing your foods. I was allowed soft cooked meats (except beef), and cooked veggies during weeks 2-6. If you make the ham salad yourself you can control the fat and what's in it so it meets your plan.

I would try:

2 oz. Lowfat Ham

1 T. lowfat mayo

1-2 T. greek yogurt

Small splash of pickle juice if you like pickle taste

Blend till smooth.

It's the bomb! Really, really chopped up ham with relish and light mayo. Have been craving it for days!!

I am on mushy foods so it's ok. The only thing I I question is, do pickles have "skins"?

Great idea with the pickle juice and yogurt ! My husband came home with some from a local deli.
