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.

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

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!

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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
