Pickle joy no more?



Recommended Posts

I love pickles. Love them! To me they are not a garnish but a side dish. I know that my tastes may change after surgery but where exactly do my beloved pickles come in? They are one of my favorite grabs when I want something crunchy or briney or puckery. I will also tuck a sandwich slice into a low carb tortilla with some turkey and vege cream cheese.

Who is still loving pickles and when could you tolerate them? Thanks so much!!

I love them!! I often suck out the soft part! I love Best Made Pickles! Also to get my fix I eat a hamburger slice.

I love them as a great low carb snack with few calories. I just be sure to do the Kosher dill not the sweet ones. They also make a hot and spicy that's delicious!

I started having 2-3 baby dills with my lunch at a couple months out. Still love 'em, no problems with 'em.

Pickles are great! I started eating them again at the soft food stage, whenever that was, (or is for you). Pickles and cheese are one of my go to Snacks. Super low carb and they go together great!

I have a pickle sometimes when I get some head hunger going, it satisfies a lot of my cravings and no calories. I just make sure to have some extra Water to counter the sodium

Mmmmm.. garlic dills, I started at 5 weeks dicing them up to add to chicken salad, or tuna... Now I just crunch one on it's own as a snack, I also have them in a deli meat roll up with cheese. They taste just as wonderful as before...

I love them, too. I just can't eat as many as I used to at once.

Once you are cleared for crunchier foods they should be ok. Before that you might be able to do the soft centers during your soft phase.

I had my first pickle last week. It was awesome! I have decided to start making my own and just finished some about two hours ago. I don't know if I can hold off popping them open!

Yep me too. Right after surgery I even drank Pickle Juice to help with hydration because I wasn't always drinking enough. They are high is salt so you have to watch that and you have to get Protein in but otherwise I don't see why you can't have them - eventually anyway

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
