I am guilty of taking sips from the pickle jar, olive jar, hot pepper jar, etc. soooo delicious. No harm in a couple sips as long as you can drink some extra water!

Wow! What's a Bahama Bucks? lol!

It's a shaved ice place...fruit cups...coffee...flavored drinks...there all over down here. Very yummy.

Tofu smoothies? Umm eww. That gives me a mental picture of chunky mushy yuck lol. I want something cold and refreshing when it's 115 degrees outside!

I put silken tofu in my smoothies and it's really good! And I don't even live in California like Laura-Ven. :) I also even like cottage cheese in smoothies, and I would never eat that by choice!

I never found my pickle juice drinkers? Anybody out there? :)

Me me me!! I thought I was the only one!! I love pickle juice! I crave it! I munch on pickles as Snacks and every time I get one I have to drink some juice! My husband thinks I'm weird but then he hates dill pickles. I also find that after I drink some I'm thirsty which in turn causes me to drink lots more water! Love it! Lol! Oh and for me I will eat any pickle but pickle of choice are the ones in the refrigerated section in the grocery store, the Claussen brand! They are the best in my opinion!

Not surprising pickle juice makes you thirsty. It contains a lot of sodium and potassium. It's great for preventing cramps. Lots of cyclists drink it during long bike rides.

To me it's a clear liquid with no acidity so I don't see why a post op person couldn't have it as soon as they felt well enough to drink it.

I LOVE pickle juice! One week post op I was really wanting some food and for some reason fixated on pickles. Talked with my nutritionist and she said it would be fine to drink the juice as long as my stomach tolerated it. It was fine and helped things "move along" shall we say. Mmmm . . . Pickle juice!

Thanks for all the great responses! I checked with my NUT yesterday and she had no problem with a little Pickle Juice - no more than a couple of ounces. She said to just be mindful of the sodium! Drink away my fellow pickle juice sleevers! :)

I craved Pickle Juice after VSG. I drank some post op day 4. I also found it to be very soothing after I had my tonsils removed.

i have used dill Pickle Juice to get rid of gas before. don't know why i didn't think of it since i had my sleeve. and i didn't know it was good for leg cramps. should i drink it as a preventative before bed or drink when i'm having the leg cramps in the middle of the night? i'm going to drink some right now to help with the gas. i'm 11 days out, does the gas ever go away?

      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
