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.

      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.
