Pickles are great for curing a craving (when you're not sure what you want). Sometimes when I eat one of those big dill pickles I get a belly ache. As far as the band is concerned, as long as I chew well I don't have any problems. They are loaded with salt though and you might be more likely to retain Water. The vinegar is good for you.

I eat them quite often and never had any problem whatsoever. Just remember to chew them well (as with all other stuff you eat...)

I love sour pickles:hungry: , but I do not eat the skin. Like with alot of things, I get scared and just spit it out so it doesn't get stuck.

I have not had a problem with pickles. I ate one pickle spear very slowly. I have also eaten 3 or 4 hamburger slices slowly.

1 pickle is around 1800 mg sodium. (I am on a 2000 mg sodium restriction because of kidney problems.) American Heart Association recomments EVERY person eat less than 2300 mg sodium. That is almost equivalent to one pickle. So you decide if it's healthy or not. lol

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
