My doctor didn't advise me to eat dill pickles, but they've always been a go-to snack for me when I'm trying to lose weight because they're only about 10 calories, they're crunchy, and they're salty. Perfect for me.

They do come in handy and it's time to buy another jar.

The Vlasic Snack'mm's are really good and crunchy. There are three in a serving cuz they are small, but even if you only eat one, it is very tasty and crunchy. No calories or carbs. tastes good with turkey slice and string cheese.

Yessss the turkey slice, cheese and pickles are a good quick meal.

I liked dill pickles before surgery. Now I'm a freaking addict. Every time my family orders out or we go out to dinner I'll order wraps or something with EXTRA PICKLES and then only eat the pickles and save everything else for later. It's kinda sad.

I fell in love with them all over again. I get real creative now.

Not to rain on anyones parade but I was warned not to eat pickles or to "skin" them until i was at 6 months...I would just suggest you check with your nutritionist or doctor. I was told the skin is hard to digest and like apple skin I shouldnt eat it until 6 months post op.

Now I love to wrap up a pickle with a little cream cheese or some laughing cow and a piece of turkey.

Don't worry, you are not raining on my parade because remember my doctor is the one who told me to eat them. Every doctor has different guidelines for their patients and this is the program he set up for me. Now your nutritionist may have a different program set up for you.

Thanks for posting your concern. I wish you the best on your journey.

Pickles are a great snack! I ate pickles after my 3rd month, but couldn't eat apples without peeling them. The only thing i still can't eat is lettuce, the pain is so bad, so I stay FAR AWAY from lettuce. Oh and into my 3rd year, i've developed lactose intolerance. . .nearly died from 1 glass of fat free skim milk! go figure! hubbie nearly called the ambulance the pain was so bad. . . sooooooooooo no milk products for this person! Isn't it neat how we are all so autonomous

Wow so sorry to hear that. I guess I have a sleeve of steel because so far nothing bothers me. I only vomitted once and that was when I woke up from surgery and realized I had a freakin tube down my throat lol.

My doctor and dietician suggested them and said it was fine to eat them as long as I took small bites and chewed well. That's why I like the Snak'mm's cuz they are so small. and even if you eat just one, it gives your diet kind of a zing you are craving! I was advised though to peel anything with skin (apples, pears, tomatoes) right now.

Hi T1D,

When you say "lettuce", do you mean iceberg (regular) lettuce? Or maybe Romaine? I am wondering, what do you use for salads?

Flagstaffian, I can not tolerate any type of leafy lettuce or raw spinach. I don't eat veggie salads at all. I'll have veggies on the side, like tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, etc. . only not mixed up together and definately NOT the leafy things. Cooked spinach is ok.

I love love love me some dill pickles! This was always one of my mom and my go to foods when we were low carbin'. I love to drink the juice too. Umm! This actually has more of a benefit than you may know though. A bitter or sour food eaten with a meal greatly decreases it's glycemic effect on the body. So suck those sour little babies up. They are helping you get closed to you goal one pucker at a time :0)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
