I think there must be a salt craving going around.....all I want is a grilled cheese and dill pickle. And I don't even really like dill pickles :(

Seems like somewhat phallic food. I would avoid hot dogs in general - there is SO MUCH crap in them. Check with the dr. about pickles though - the acidic content may be a lot for your stomach to handle. Are you even allowed solids yet?

You can eat both, as long as you chew them really well. Like another poster said, the pickle might be a little acidic for you. In my mushies stage, I would cut little bits of hot dog up and stir it into my cottage cheese to flavor it - yum! At this stage, you can only eat about 1/3 of a hot dog, so it can't be that bad for you ;-)

My dietitian said pickles can be result in some discomfort. She said no matter how much you chew, the skin never really goes to mush. She said cutting the skin off would really help. [:

Try chopping up the hot dog adding in a hint of dill relish and make it like an egg salad, only a hotdog salad. Want chilidog? Do the same. Just be careful where you are in your diet phase so you do not cause any damage or make yourself sick. I was still eating mushies in my 5th week. Like suggestion of hotdogs with no nitrates or by Kosher.< /p>

pickles were intense for me. I am 4 months out and they still are. I think its the skin. But they upset my tummy bad. i know it sounds nuts, but if i peel it, its not SO bad...but i LOVE pickles. and i miss them so lol. I am just now eating hot dogs, and i find that i can only do 1/3 to 1/2 of a dog. i know about the cravings lol...they can be hard to resist at times lol. I had my first dog about a week ago and it was like heaven. Crazy what we miss...lol. and its weird cuz sometimes, just a bite is all i need to get the fix on whatever i am cravin so bad.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
