If it's allowed on whatever post op diet phase you're on, sure. Just be sure to include both the crackers and the cheese in your daily calorie allowance.

I used to have a Laughing Cow cheese wedge for a snack, too. I ate it with a cocktail fork to make it last longer. Also, Vita Tops or Vita Muffins. I still have a Vita Top every night and I am 3 1/2 months post surgery.

Also, I honestly can't remember if I was eating crackers at 3 weeks (I want to say I waited a month?) however, one of my friends on here who was banded the same day as me was eating Ritz crackers 7-10 days post op WITH her doctor's permission and she had no issues.

Yes indeed. I have graduated from mushies. Yea....Not sure why but I have a few friends that are to be on mushies three more weeks than myself...I love my surgeon...thank you.

I eat wheat thins or trisquits. They are both 100% whole grain and baked. I don't think that's true for ritz. Love laughing cow cheese- 35 cals a wedge, can't beat it!

I love wheat thins...thanks Veronica68

wheat thins or triscuits are what my nut advised... but she also says if you can tolerate regular saltines you can try them.. I am going to walmart tomorrow and will be getting some laughing cow...

I use the laughing cow cheese, either on Trader Joe's Pita Crackers or Whole Foods Air baked crackers with sea salt. Both give yo a better serving for the calories and better sodium and nutrition. Its nice to have the crunch, I just make sure I chew REALLY well. Cheers to your snacks

I was still on mushies at your stage but you should listen to your dr first/ Laughing cow is a great idea and go slow on the crackers
