Dill Pickles For A Snack Wth?



Recommended Posts

I recently succumbed to the temptation of the hugantic, ginormous jar of Vlasic from Sam's Club. Don't go there hungry, people. It just takes you to a baaaad place. :lol: My surgery is in little more than two weeks. I'll never eat all those. I'll come home and those pickles will be in the back of the fridge......lookin' at me.....

See, I always LOVED pickles, particularly the extra crunchy and garlicy Claussen ones (when I couldn't get to a good deli and fish one out of a barrel, anyway) and used them as a snack all the time before surgery.

Now my taste buds are wacky and they taste too salty and too sour for me! I've tried a few different brands but no dice, they just don't do it for me anymore.

I will add that I was always told to limit pickles (and any other "free" food) to 3 or less a day because of the sodium, though, so watch that if you notice a small bump up on the scale.

Who knew :rolleyes: and it's amazing how many different doctor and nutrionist's opinions there are.

I have eaten more dill pix since I have been sleeved that in the decade before!!! It may sound gross, but I dice up pickle spears and add to cottage cheese along with black olives. Yummo!! Salty and tangy and very healthy. You'll never be able to convince me I am deprived of good food just because I've been sleeved. Kathe

      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.
