One week post op today and I am craving Pickle Juice or green olives SO BAD!!! It use to be a favorite of mine for years but I was really hoping to kill that craving. Nope, still there. The juice or olives or vinegar was my go to for stomach bug. It always calmed it down. Weird.

I use to eat a lot of pickles/gherkins prior to the op and craved them afterwards.

I ate a small one and urgh.. didn't enjoy it at all and haven't had one since!

Is Pickle Juice off limits for you? I had it during the liquids stage to help keep me sane; I would freeze it for something salty to crunch on.

No they are not off limits the juice anyway but I go overboard with them and always have. One of my favorites ( pre surgery years) is 1 piece of bread with butter a slice of cheese them the pickle. Yum. Loved that combo.

I eat jalapeño stuffed olives all the time. It's a joke in my house now that I crave a piece of cheese and an olive. It satisfies any craving I have and curbs hunger especially at night.

I know the salt isn't good but I limit myself to 2-3 jalapeño stuffed olives at a time.

Yum. Salt may not be good but comparing to what I ate before starting this new life I'd take that any day over 10 double stuffed oreos and glass of milk. Not to mention then I needed salt to mask all the sweet so ate chips n dip. Hmmm now I see a pattern lol.

      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.
