Something "crunchy" To Snack On...



Recommended Posts

Celery strings can get stuck in your staple line. Takes your tummy at least 12 weeks to heal. When you can have it they recommend you pull off the strings. When you can eat crunchy, try fried Pork rinds, rice cakes, Wasa crispbread crackers, Lundberg Rice chips instead of potato chips, Pop Chips instead of potato chips. popcorn too when you get to that point.

OMG-I tried the microwave cheese slice today and it was AWESOME. I used Borden pepper jack slices. Definitely worth the 60 seconds it takes to cook, lol!

If you are a Parmesan fan, you can do the same with shredded parm. Just pour some on a paper plate and zap. Perfectly crispy cheese. Yum!

Celery needs to be cut up tiny, and cooked or sauteed, or else the strings are not good for you!! But I would say this would be later, then sooner!!

I did chex rice Cereal after 2 weeks they were really easy and broke down in my mouth to nothing. at that time I wasnt worried about carbs' date='calories,fat. I was weak and frankly needed it. I don't eat it anymore since it is a "slider" food and I can eat alot, I would NOT eat any nuts until 1 month post op.[/quote']

Easy to eat but little or no nutritional value. For example, Cheeto's is a slider

Try this with won ton wrappers: Spray lightly with canola spray (lightly) and then put a mixture of Splenda and cinnamon and use a strainer and drop on top. Bake at 350 for 6-8 minutes!

I'm in love with wrappers. lunch today was wrapper spread with 1 tbsp of hummus. So tasty! Have mostly done savory...will have to try sweet!

      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!
