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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
