I had similar cravings today! While making my 7 year olds lunch, she requested slices of watermelon. Just smelling it, as it was glistening in the sunlight, and looking so ripe,red, and juicy, I felt like I could bite my own arm off for a piece. UGH!! Also, Instead of pickles I wanted olive juice so baddddd! Not the olives, ...just the salty brine. I gave into the olive juice craving, I had a teaspoon, just enough to get it out of my head. I drank extra Water to make up for it! Lol. :-)

Haven't tried yet, but if you are familiar w/Chico's I dont think it'll be a problem. They basicly fall apart anyhow.

I'm 23days out now.

You could sip the juice maybe' date=' but it's pretty acidic. I think I'd wait awhile.[/quote']

I'm in the Dallas area too!

I LOVE pickles! I'm only 10 days postop and the Pickle Juice from the spicy pickles in my fridge was screaming my name the other day. :-) I ended up putting a real small amount through my strainer into a cup and drank the two small sips of it. It was soooooo delicious and my sleeve didn't mind it. I can't wait to actually get to eat them again. Heck, I can't wait to eat anything again. The end of my 21 day postop liquid diet can't come soon enough!

      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.
