Craving pickles!
I'm two months post op and craving pickles. I checked my Bariatric information but cant seem to see anything about pickles. Does anyone know when it's safe to try a dill pickle?

You are probably ok if you chew really well, but any raw veggies at this point can sit like a boulder.
Try drinking some pickle juice, and see if that satisfies.
Also, craving pickles can be a signal you need more salt in your diet.
