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 crackers!

Again, check with your doc first! :)

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

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 is a great choice if you on the

"soft food" phase... Enjoy :)

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.

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

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
