I love pickles. I get the baby gherkins because the skin is soft and I've never had a problem.

Pickles are my favorite! I take a pickle and put 1 slice of lunchmeat on it (turkey or chicken) and a cheese stick and roll it up and it is VERY filling! That way I get the pickle that I want with the protein that I need. You can even put tuna (plain) and it still taste pretty good.

If you're far enough out, you might want to try canned tuna with diced sweet pickle and tablespoon of light miracle whip. I practically live on it! When you're far enough out, I like to dice some celery in it as well. Very tasty and very rich in protein!

All of that sounds great! I'm extremely frustrated....doesn't seem like I get full. Even though I watch my portion. I'm on my 4th wk post op. Weight is coming off extreeemely slow. I love 2 lbs, gain 1... Feels like I went through this for nothing...

I was able to eat tuna at 3 weeks, but the smell was too strong for me. I made it with low fat mayo and puréed it a little.

Love pickle dogs! Take a piece of Lunchmeat (I use ham or corned beef), spread on fat free cream cheese, wrap it around a large whole pickle & then cut into slices. Yum!!!

Wow! Love all the ideas for pickles!!! I am going to try some of these new ones. I think I started eating tuna about 3-4 weeks out. I can only stomach the tuna in pouches not the can. If the smell bothers you, you may want to try rinsing it before eating it. I have to do that sometimes too.

Lovely hang in there, it will start falling off quick!!! Btw you have a very pretty face.

You guys are making me hungry!!

My nutritionist made tuna and pickles for us with plain Greek yogurt for some added protein and it was good!

And I love pickle dogs too. Our family fave is dried beef w cream cheese.

Try chicken salad , it comes in a can like tuna but tastes much better !!!
