An someone please shed light on crackers for me? Are they ok??

My surgeon said a couple are ok and they are helpful when my stomach is not so happy, but others are allowed no crackers, bread, etc.

How many weeks post op are you?

How many weeks post op are you?

Had my surgery July 9th

I can eat crackers but I hardly do. Going on 2 months on Monday.

I had pretzels about 3 wks. post op... I chewed the heck out of them and made them into mush before I swollowed. I am 13 wks post op now and I have cheese-its, pretzels etc. but am very careful to CHEW, CHEW, CHEW !!!! Check with your doctor.

I was told crackers and pretzels are "slider" foods. You know they slide right through your pouch without giving you any type of full sensation. They are on my foods not recommended list as well. (List given to me by nutritionist)

I wasn't allowed any bread or crackers until five weeks post-op. When you can eat them, you might want to try Kashi Pita Crisps. I've had the 7 Grain Sea Salt and the Zesty Salsa. Both are 120 cals, 11 crisps per serving, 3g of protein and 22g of carbs. I enjoy crunchy and these crackers are very crunchy. I eat them with all kinds of things and they really are quite tastey!

i made the mistake of trying one of my daughters goldfish crackers. Went down so easy. Problem is they are addictive! Get them away from me!

I had 1-2 no more honest. I have self control. I see it all day long & look and I don't get that urge to attack and eat it. That was like a once in a life time thing. I don't attack the chips neither. I'm not keeping it out of the house. The Kids should enjoy some junk. They eat vey well.

You may want to try Gerber Graduates Puffs it's a great alternative to chips and crackers.
