Well my Dr approved it and I ate it at 3 weeks post op but if you are on puree foods then yes you can

Everyones stages vary but I had it right after I finished my full liquid stage.

Yummy!!

I was on liquids for 3 weeks. Sometimes I wanted to cheat and eat something more substantial, but I figured better safe than sorry.

Though not recommended, I don't see hummus being a problem. But what would be a potential problem is what you might put it on.

Hang in there!!! You can do it... I know its hard but you're almost there

I was going to say this... At 10 days out it will be too early for any kind of fibrous veggie and I'm not sure a pita chip would go down nice.

I'll tell you my experience... I was about 2 weeks out or so and I bought a bag of pork skins and used the small pieces to scoop hummus with. I was thinking I was doing well and being creative, not using any kind of bread or veggies and pork skins are all Protein.

Well. Hummus is one of those foods that goes down smooth and the pork skins break down with saliva to mush easily. So I ate... and watched TV and ate and ate and OMG CRAP I NEED TO SLOW DOWN.

A little too much............and Jelly The Sleeve did NOT like that very much at all. Nope. Not at all.

HOWEVER... before surgery I might have eaten it with a spoon. I'll never admit it open court.

Thanks for all the advise I will just wait better to be safe than sorry.

Hummos is a go to food for me now. I didn't have it until after 4 weeks tho.

Now I have it almost everyday. My wife has started making one with roasted beetroot through it as well. And smokey babaganoush ooh yeah

*Dean*- any recipes you are willing to share?

Everyone's stomach is a little different, so I can only relate my experiences. I test a new food by eating about 1/4 teaspoon and waiting 5 minutes to see if I feel any discomfort. If none, then I eat a 1/2 tsp and wait another 5 minutes. I was able to eat boiled eggs, Vienna sausages, re-fried beans, yogurt after 14 days. But everything was finely chopped or put in a blender. My stomach still doesn't like sugar free Jell-O, sugar free popsicles or chicken.

I'll speak to the chef?

I am two weeks out and will admit to getting a tsp and just eat it by itself! Love the stuff!
