Are they bad for you? I've been craving them like crazy!!

I was craving them around 3 weeks out! I had a few sliced ones and chewed them really good... Haven't had craving since

I craved the taste too. Had some pickle juice. I talked to my NUT and she said a small amount of the juice was ok but to be mindful of the sodium.

I'm about 3 and a half weeks out! I want them all the time. It's weird. They do have pretty much nothing except a LOT of sodium. *sigh*

I had pickle juice at 3 weeks. It stopped the craving. Tasted great.

Is it weird that I'm 3 weeks out and I can pretty much eat anything? (Not junk of course) I thought right now it'd be more difficult to get stuff down.

I was the same at 3 weeks now I'm 5 and I rarely have problems with food

Lucky you!! I'm almost 11 months out and still have problems with foods some times like today. But....I'm eating more "regular" foods with my protein.

Ok that makes me feel better

I thought it was just me. I 4 days post surgery and just want a pickle so bad. I have gotten tired of broth. I was on a 2 week liquid diet and enjoyed my broth. Never had cottage cheese can I eat the ones with fruit at the next stage or just plain?

Ask ur nut. Everyone's stages are different.

I wanted pickle juice at that point too. The Dr insisted it was caused by failure to drink enough water. My nut said a lol is fine.

Thanks. I'm glad some of the soreness is going. Plus I'm tired of sleeping at a 45degree angle my butt hurts. Lol

Oh my god, that is so funnnny!!! I too had pickle cravings, (I am 2 weeks post op). I just attributed it to my usual love of pickles! I also drank the brine. Olives too.........anyone crave those?

Yup. Olives too. Green ones. Just the juice. I'm a salt girl and them shakes were super sweet!

Food at 3 weeks out !?!? I'm on 4 weeks of liquid, pickles would be heavenly but I would settle for anything I can chew !! One more week of this then on to 4 weeks of mushy
