What does your surgeon's meal plan say? I was on a regular diet and seven weeks and could eat pretty much anything.

I was OK to eat a pickle or two, but for corn I had to wait 3 months. It is harder on your intestines. I actually drank a little pickle juice the 3rd week, as I was sick of sweet tasting.

I haven't heard anything about pickles but on my plan corn is a no-no. But that doesn't mean it's allowed or not allowed on your plan. Everyone's plan is different.

On my plan, I could eat pickles as soon as I could tolerate raw vegetables. I can take or leave corn, so I avoid it.

I fight badgers with spoons.

My instructions were nothing like that for 8 weeks and especially no seed bearing fruits. Corn is starchy and probably not a good idea ever. Having said that, I had corn on the cob about ten months out. I never have craved pickles so I have only one comment...they are loaded with sugar and salt.
