dill pickles okay pre op cheat?

[Heather Meyer 103]

Thanks everyone for the words of advice-kick in the pants or not..harsh or not...whatever..that doesnt matter to me.. What matters is that i found support in a small group of people who were willing to honestly weigh in on a question...that helps.

I did go ahead and have a pickle..did i like it? Not really...Did it help to take a bite and chew? YEP. Did i feel guilty knowing it was still a cheat regardless..Yep. Will i do it again? No..is the answer i want to give but i cant make a promise because im human and its hard being 100 percent.. BUT ... next time i will attempt to find a different coping method when i feel very tempted.

Thanks for your help AND ditto to what Lauren said... chewing and spitting out food is begging for an eating disorder..trust me..i have a lot of experience with eating disorders..it explains half the reason why i am fat today.

To answer this question and for all others who may have the same issues, pickles are ok; however, the reason they tell you not to is that the salt in the pickles will stimulate your appetite, making you want to crave more food intake. Awesome job trying to stick with the plan, and I totally understand wanting to eat something else. But this is the reason why they may want you to avoid Pickles.
