I love pickles. I get the baby gherkins because the skin is soft and I've never had a problem.

Pickles are my favorite! I take a pickle and put 1 slice of lunchmeat on it (turkey or chicken) and a cheese stick and roll it up and it is VERY filling! That way I get the pickle that I want with the Protein that I need. You can even put tuna (plain) and it still taste pretty good.

If you're far enough out, you might want to try canned tuna with diced sweet pickle and tablespoon of light miracle whip. I practically live on it! When you're far enough out, I like to dice some celery in it as well. Very tasty and very rich in protein!

Finally something I can eat!!! I pull the hard skin off and it keeps me full for hours. I know it's not Protein but it keeps me from starving.

Love pickle dogs! Take a piece of Lunchmeat (I use ham or corned beef), spread on fat free cream cheese, wrap it around a large whole pickle & then cut into slices. Yum!!!

Wow! Love all the ideas for pickles!!! I am going to try some of these new ones. I think I started eating tuna about 3-4 weeks out. I can only stomach the tuna in pouches not the can. If the smell bothers you, you may want to try rinsing it before eating it. I have to do that sometimes too.

You guys are making me hungry!!

My nutritionist made tuna and pickles for us with plain Greek yogurt for some added Protein and it was good!

And I love pickle dogs too. Our family fave is dried beef w cream cheese.< /p>

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      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
