Question:
How soon can eat pickles again?
I used to eat a ridiculos amount of dill pickles before my RnY on 7/8/03. It was my snack of choice. I could knock off a gal jar of deli dills inside of a week. Naturally I'll never return to that volume but I would like to have one here and there. I am sure I'll have to demote myself to a smaller kind of dill(spear or chips) Any suggestions? Yeah, I am wierdo about pickles. — Michael G. (posted on July 19, 2003)

I am assuming on mean dill pickles. I eat them all the time since there is
0 sugar in them, be very careful of the sodium content, it can make you
hold fluids. Also Mt. Olive brand makes a great bread & butter pickle
made with splenda.. It's great when you really want something sweet, and
this also has 0 calories....

Get the Mt. Olives zero calorie variety (not really sure how they do this).
They make a great bread and butter variety that tastes pretty good. They
have a new sweet gherkin that is no sugar either and it tastes pretty good
too.

P.s. Just got back from the grocery store and they now have splenda
sweetened relish from Mt. Olive too. So try the line, they're pretty good.

i started eating them about 8 weeks post op i figured they were cooked (the
ones i had were ) and they are a veggie and the doctor said cooked veggies
okay! i will wait a while before i start on the yummy uncooked refriderated
types, they are my favorites.

I tried pickles at about 1 month post-op but found out the hard way it was
much too early for me to have pickles. after another month (so about 2
mos. post-op) i was able to tolerate them easier, and now (9 mos. post-op)
i can enjoy them with no problems at all! I would advise waiting until you
are out of your "soft-foods" stage and well into tolerating full
solids before trying pickles. but that's just me. enjoy! :)

I first tried pickles about 2 months out and had no problems. Initially I
didn't eat the skin, just the inside. Then at about 4 months out, I was
cutting up pickles to add to tuna salad and started (quickly) munching on
1/2 a pickle...yep! didn't chew the skin good enough and I was vomitting
for 4 hours. I've thrown up alot of different things...pickles, by far, is
the worst! Enjoy them, but chew chew chew!!! And omit the skin
initially. (Haven't eaten them since!)

Glad you posted this question. I LOVE dill pickles and go on pickle binges
(pre-op). I'm glad to know that I will be able to eat them after surgery,
just be careful and maybe peel them at first.
Enjoy.

I am almost 3 weeks post op and I tried a baby dill pickle the other day.
I took tiny bites and chewed very well and had no problem. Everyone is
different. All you can do is try it when you think you're ready and see
how it goes.
