Craving pickle juice



Recommended Posts

I craved pickles so bad after I was sleeved. You can have it, just high in sodium so do so in moderation. It helped with my reflux. I still eat pickles almost every day and I’m 6 months post-op

It's crazy how bad I want pickles right now! If i didn't know better I'd think I was pregnant lol! Definitely no chance of that!

Still on the presurg side of things , when I gave up evil sweets and nasty soda, which realized is truly for the best, do you know what I want? Veggies, have To be cooked because you can't chomp raw ones real great with dentures, but I love steamed broccoli, brussel sprouts, carrots, peas and little pearl onions. Hold a baked or nuked sweet potato in front of my face and I'll follow you anywhere.🍝

In medium doses it's a laxative, so be careful! Have plenty of Water and stay hydrated. Athletes swear by it for cramps and dehydration..

Your electrolytes are probably off. Are you drinking plenty of broth with sodium? Taking your Vitamins?

As you lose Water weight you flush electrolytes from your body. Also due to the low consumption of food, sodium and potassium intake is way down. The electrolytes should be replaced or you'll start to feel sick. broth is helpful in replacing electrolytes. You can also add lite salt which has potassium and sodium in it to your diet. Vitamins usually are pretty low in electrolytes due to the assumption you'll get enough sodium from your diet and the potential of possible overdosing on potassium. Drinking Pickle Juice is helpful. But the broth will add some Protein in. Hopefully your Multivitamin has the needed magnesium.

You should also be having at least one electrolyte beverage a day. Makes a huge difference for me.

I think we all went through that phase...I did drink a little juice every now and then just to satisfy the craving but remember it is high in sodium. But its no harm to have a sip🤗🤗🥒🥒🥒

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
