I love pickles! The only problem? They make me so thirsty... which makes me hungry!

I'm not talking sweet dills. I'm talking big, green, sour, delicious Persian pickles! Yummy!

So, I figured out a solution: drink a glass (or bottle, etc.) of water with one pickle. I know after you get the band, it's against the rules to eat and drink at the same time, but I'm on the Pre-Op Diet, so I guess for now it's alright since pickles will be my once-in-a-while well-deserved treat.

Listen to me, I've been on a diet for three days and I've already lost it!

do you like zucchini? if you do, remind me to give you a really good soup recipe for your post op stage, you should try practicing drinking 30-45 mins after you eat so it wont be so hard when you're already banded.
