  • All Dr's have different guidelines of when to eat things so as always, check with your Doctor first. My Dr allows all foods by week 4 so I think this would be fine, just chew chew chew those crack

  • Hummus is on my list of allowable foods, from mushy/soft stage on. I love that stuff.

    I would say the Hummus is OK but the pretzel crackers are too rough. I felt if I ate rough foods I payed for it the next day or later that day I could not each as much maybe it made me swollen.

Hummus is a great choice if you on the

"soft food" phase... Enjoy :)

I agree.

First check with your doctor, but I would say yes to hummus no to pretzels. BTW my doctor/NUT don't want their patients to have bread, Pasta, etc.. until at least 6 or 8 months after surgery.

Some doctors "ok" saltine crackers (just a tiny bit)

When you are on the soft food stage because they break down (melt) after chewing well.

Ask your Nut or Dr.

For the soft/mushy stage, do you just eat the hummus with a spoon like you would eat refried beans or something? Thanks!

Hummus (Arabic: حُمُّص‎) is a Middle Eastern and Arabic food dip or spread made from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic.[1] Today, it is popular throughout the Middle East, Turkey, North Africa, Morocco, and in Middle Eastern cuisine around the globe.

That doesn't sound bad ill have to give it a try!

I think you either love it or hate it. There's a lot of different flavors, too - garlic, roasted red pepper, etc.

I love the roasted pine nut hummus. Though I haven't had it since surgery because I just have to dip carrots in my hummus.

This is good Deviled eggs made with hummus.
