Pickles

[vbgirl264 28]

I'm in the soft food phase and were wondering about pickles. Are we allowed to have them?

I had soft food class yesterday and I was told we could use Pickle Juice to add flavor to stuff but no actual pickles until 6 weeks. Every doc is different though, so you should ask your office just to make sure!

How funny, I was wondering this yesterday!

It's amazing to see what everyone classifies a clear and full liquid, soft diets and what you would eat for a puree. After working in a hospital for 12 years with special diets for every type of patient, nursing home and dementia residents. I tend to take a double look at what is posted and go wow. But if that is what the nut says to have then you have the clearance.

yup my nut also said no pickles until six weeks out..

Yep no skin, seeds, nuts. No caffeine, pepper, or spicy seasonings. I love seeds but they don't love me.

Pickles have a lot of sodium and can dry you out and also dehydrate, but I love a slice now and then

Actually picklejuice has electrolytes in it and can help hydrate. When my hubby played football thwy would have them drink a little before and after it also helps with muscle cramps after a workout. By no means should it replace Water obviously but just in case u get a cramp lol

After hockey games we give our girls chocolate milk for the muscles but surely i will settle for a choc Protein Shake after i have my surgery
