When can we begin crackers? I know it's not the best choice but just wondering .. TIA

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
