When Is It Safe To Eat Bread Or Potato Chips?

Can someone tell me when it was safe or comfortable enough to eat bread or potato chips after plication? Food is starting to go down pretty easily but after my doc told me about a patient to ate potato chips a week after surgery and ended up in the hospital for several days, those are the two foods I'm scared to try.

I'm one month post-op and haven't had any cravings for potato chips or bread. My dietician and surgeon have both said to cut out junk food completely. We might be eating less, but we still have to eat smart.

She did say dry, crunchy things like chips were sliders and would go down easily, as a matter of fact too easily and go right on through and you wouldn't feel full, and therefore wouldn't stop when you should - thus gain it back.

I've never seen a chip as appealing as a size 8! LOL

At costco u can buy pop chips 100 calories per bag' date=' this is a treat, I agree, we need to get our Protein in first, but once in awhile u need the snack, n this is a good snack,[/quote']
