darci.shannon@gmail.com 0 Posted July 22, 2011 Im on day 5 of my pre-op diet, and I've been craving sour. I've been drinking Pickle Juice, and then mixing in straight vinegar. Has anyone else had this problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jen120 23 Posted July 23, 2011 Yes...I was craving balsamic vinaigrette pre and post op. Weird to hear someone else did too. I didn't do anything about it. But what a strange coincidence! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BamaBrandy 1 Posted July 24, 2011 Whew! Glad to hear I'm not the only one craving vinegar!! Thought something was wrong with me LOL. I've been on a liquid diet and soon after starting all liquid I started craving vinegar. I researched and found that as long as it is distiled it wont hurt anything and it has actually curbed my cravings for solid food!! When I crave solid food I pour an ounce or two of vinegar in a little cup and drink it (I know it sounds totally crazy). The craving for vinegar subsides for a while and I forget all about wanting solid food! It has really been a blessing cause as most of us know doing a liquid diet is FAR from easy!!

darci.shannon@gmail.com 0 Posted July 25, 2011 My husband looked into it more and it's from to much Calcium, Your body can't process all the calcuim (in the Protein drinks) and needs to be broken down. As he put it, it's pretty much a calcium overdose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
brbm6 6 Posted July 25, 2011 I normally don't eat pickles but as soon as I hit solids that is all I wanted. Weird! Good to know about the Calcium overdose. It makes sense now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
