stephjoysm 16 Posted August 6, 2013 I was craving pickles so bad. I loved them before surgery and was dying for a slice of pickle. I can't eat solid food for another two days so I took a sip of the Pickle Juice from the jar . . . Then another . . Then one more OMG it was amazing. I had to put the jar away before I drank the whole thing. I've never craved pickles so bad before. Could it have been the salt? 1 Sheri h reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparklette 381 Posted August 6, 2013 Have you been taking your Vitamins? Pickle cravings are linked to low Iron. Its why pregnant ladies crave pickles Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dorian 683 Posted August 8, 2013 I eat a pickle almost every day now and I never did before surgery! I had heard it has to do with potassium levels but am not sure. Havent had my bloodwork checked since surgery so not sure where im at. That comes at 6 months post op. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chocolatetre' 5 Posted August 11, 2013 Thats weird, I thought I was the only one. I found some great low sodium sliced dills, and they are amazing. Just what I needed. I am 4wks on the loser bench and can now have soft solids. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
