Pickles and olives



Recommended Posts

I tried a year out of surgery, pickles and onions don't agree with me anymore but olives are lush.

They are a slider food for me though so I don't have them very often and usually when I am eating out so I can't hog the whole jar!

Yes - I've had both. I occasionally eat a pickle spear with my tuna or as a snack at the movie theater when my husband is devouring popcorn. I had a couple of green olives on Thanksgiving. Both are approved by my NUT and surgeon, but I don't eat them regularly bc they have no nutritional value and are high in sodium.

I started eating them two months out, chopped in salmon salad. I have no issues with either.

I enjoy both occasionally. But not until I was about 3 months out and approved by my bariatric center. I just have to watch the sodium intake for the day though because I do retain Fluid like crazy after a sodium heavy day.

I haven't had olives yet but I will. I am still eating Soups and purees! I could introduce new things as I am 2 months out but...I have my 'routine' what I shop for and what I cook so I have to make an effort to have variety.

Love both. Eat a pickle spear with cheese and sausage as a snack nearly every day. Never had any restrictions regarding them once I was in regular food phase. Actually, I did eat green olives even in soft food stage. Chopped them up fine, mixed with cream cheese, and rolled up in a slice of deli ham. The salty/sweet combo was a big hit at that point. Mmmmm.

I'm looking forward to a Vlasic Bold & Spicy pickle, eventually! Mmm Tabasco-flavored pickles...

@@laylalayla I was sleeved on nov 9th of this year, and my nutritionist was okay with me having pickles two weeks post op.

it was the only thing I could eat. I'd eat a pickle spear and take incredibly small bites. it was the only thing I could keep down.

she said that it was fine as long as nothing was getting stuck in my throat or anything. Because they weren't sharp or crispy she wasn't concerned with my stomach lining either. even my surgeon was okay with me eating pickles.
