All teams recommendations are different. I was allowed crackers when I started soft solids. I started out on rice crackers since it felt like they swelled up less in my belly. No issues as long as I watched the quantity.

I'm 9 months out and have started eating Wasa Fiber crackers to help with my Constipation. The only problem is they are pretty taste-neutral and I want to use my calories/carbs on tastier food (like apples). I keep forgetting to budget them in.

I find Saltines sit well with me. Crackers that are rich like Townhouse, Ritz, Triscuits tend to be too much.

I try not to eat too much. But saltines do help settle my tummy.

I used to snack on cheese & crackers all the time before surgery. I haven't craved it yet but I'm only 2 weeks post op. I can't imagine fitting that snack in right now- I'm still trying to get my meals in

I feel it is about balance. Having absolutely no carbs is unrealistic if you ask me in the long run.

Saltines are great, somehow they do go down well. Doesn't mean you are going to eat a box of it.

What I do , I get 3 saltines. I put a small slice of cheese and pile up shredded turkey from the deli (you can have them "shave" it, it is better than "thin". Two saltines go down well. Usually I have to stop on the third one half way because I get full.

Another thing that goes well are the flat pretzels. The plain ones do not have yeast in the ingredients. Yeast is what makes bread grow. So these don't feel like they inflate inside you. lol

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
