I feel your pain. I was 2 weeks pre-surgery liquids (800 cals per day). Post surgery has been 4 weeks each of all liquid, then purée, then soft foods. Another 2 weeks and I will finally be on regular food. Other than the all liquid stage, it hasn't been too bad.

My local flea market has a pickle stand, fresh with different favors. I bought the garlic flavored and would bite into them and just suck all the juice out until the looked almost like raisins, lol. Hubby said it was one of the grossest things to watch, but I was in heaven. Doc and NUT said no problem with pickles, just stay away from the skin for the first few weeks.

Oddly enough when my tummy doesn't feel so well.. I drink Pickle Juice and it makes it feel better. There are always pickles in my house.. Now for two reasons.. ;)

I craved green olives during the liquids stage and drank some of the brine. :-)

I added a spoonful of dill relish to my chicken salad and egg salad when I was on the mushy stage. I wasn't one to drink the brine, but I did love the flavor that the relish added to my salads.

I drank Pickle Juice right before and after surgery. For me I think it was because I was SO sick of the sweet Protein Shakes. I am more of a savory person so the shakes got old fast. It isn't all that unusual for me to drink pickle juice (I will get a hit when I am having cramps in my legs and feet) but I was drinking it every time I passed the fridge!

Pickes are the one thing I've been telling my hubby I've wanted since about day 3. How funny!

Weird. I didn't eat pickles before surgery. I'm 2 weeks post op and I crave pickles. Since I can't eat pickles I drank some Pickle Juice. Hope it's okay. I only drank a little because I was worried it might harm my sleeve.

Surely the vinegar in the brine must do something positive.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
