crazedteacher 38 Posted April 26, 2013 Just pick yourself up, and realize that we are all human. You will be fine. Just get back on your diet. I was allowed one meal a day and 2 shakes on my pre-op diet, but every doctor is different. You can do it. I am 4.5 weeks out and 33 pounds down. Just keep your mind on the end result. 1 mzshay35 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dorian 683 Posted April 27, 2013 What is there in pickles that makes us crave them. I am not a huge pickle fan, but today, I just couldn't stop thinking about them! I made some tuna salad and used some of the pickle (the soft part) in it. It was great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
