15 days post op. lost 24 pounds, yay! Today I've had the worst craving for a pickle and I wasn't sure if that's a mistake or allowed and anyone's experience with that.

It's a solid food so if you can eat solid food it's OK. If you're still on mushies, it's not.

I'm on soft foods. I can do like ground meat cooked veggies nuts. They want me to wait a few more weeks for tougher meats and lettuce. I have this horrible craving for pickles. I am worried about the skin

Should be fine. Just chew to mush. No different than a cucumber.

I LOVE Pickles....a pickle, bit of cheese and a few crackers and I'm good for hours....

dice it up into tiny littleLittleLITTLE cubes and only put a couple at a time in your mouth....and chewChewCHEW to total mush.

My doctor suggested that if I need a snack in between meals (when I get to the eating stage- I'm on clear liquids) he said to have pickles.
