saved by the pickle



Recommended Posts

Interesting, I've never heard that Pickle Juice could help. Granted, the only time I've been nauseous is due to eating too much. (I need to be hyper aware on portion control.) But I will definitely file this away -- and buy some pickles because I like them. ;)

Success! Hubby found little prepackaged baby dills for our trip. I was in a panic thinking I would go without them for 4 days.

By the way, it also helps if you ate too much. Surgeon said my tummy is the size of a golf ball so about 2 to 4 oz. And my opening is the width on my wedding ring. So whatever I eat must fit through a wedding band and no more than would fill a golf ball.

Took pickles to Cabo this week on vacation and totally worked. I also took my Syntrax lemon tea powder. Very proud I remained committed even while on vacation.

      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.
