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!

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>

      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.
