Craving Dill Pickle Juice



Recommended Posts

So before the sleeve I craved sweets and carbs in general. Today I'm craving dill picke juice or cucumbers in vinegar and oil. I admit to taking a swig out of the ole pickel jar. I had my sleeve on 5-15-2012 and my stomach is just a tad upset. Anybody else craving strange stuff?

I was sleeved on May 10th. I craved pickles too. I wonder if it's the salt? Also, Peanut Butter. I am not giving in on peanut butter because of the fat content.

I was sleeved on 1/18/12 and I noticed that I was constantly craving pickles 1 week right after surgery . I spoke to my doctor and he said that I might be a lil low on sodium intake and , thats why my body had salty craving ..... It kinda did make sense to me . ;)

How bizarre! i was sleeved on 4/10/12 and i've been eating dill pickles, cucumbers in vinegar, sour grapes and sour strawberries. It seems like i can't get enough of the sour....not craving anything else just these things. This may be stupid but can you eat too many strawberries and grapes? Once I start i can't stop and find myself nibbling on these, especially grapes throughout the day. Not sure if this is starting a bad habit..

Thought I was officially crazy. I searched the forum for pickles as I am craving them (sleeved 5/16). When can I have them between the acidity and seeds?

I started eating pickles about 3 weeks post op just because I was afraid of the possible heartburn. As far as the seeds I wouldn't worry. They're not really raw anymore like strawberry seeds or whatever (though those don't worry me either) so enjoy :) I have the worst salt cravings now too... rarely ever want sweets or chocolate anymore thank God!

I got sleeved on 6/4... I have always loved pickles but now I think I love them more. I can't wait to have puréed tuna salad with a little Pickle Juice. Yum

I have craved pickles, Pickle Juice, lemons and salt and tons of sour things since day 1 out of surgery. I thought it was sodium related, but I am getting in more than enough and still crave it. So I have no idea what is going on with that, But I usually have at least 1 small dill pickle or lemon wedge with salt each day.

I have also craved more saltier, vinegar (y) things since being sleeved also- Havent given into eating chips but have eaten pickles with no problems and that seems to satisfy it completely... plus they are NO calories and fill you up quite nicely..

I craved vinegar when I was pregnant but the doctor told me it was because I was anemic. I wonder if it is the vinegar in the Pickle Juice that you crave. Vinegar is a sugar that has the reputation of balancing body ph by reducing acid levels in the blood. I'm wondering if the surgery increases acidity in some way...perhaps the anesthesia or the healing process causes ph imbalances?

      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.
