 As much as you want to. I wouldn't. They are high in sodium and once you have WLS you can't eat pickles anymore either. So you may as well mourn them now, even though they are a healthy alternative.

Once you have surgery you can't have pickles? I've had pickles since my surgery. Noone ever told me I couldn't. Is there a reason for not being able to have them...other than sodium. I lived on pickles as part of my snacks for over a month. I guess I'm just curious.

 I was told I could have them in the soft veggie stage BUT and it was a very important but, I had to peel or avoid the skin because it doesn't break down very well.
