Fruit Snacks and Crackers?!



Recommended Posts

Ok guys. Im 28 days post op. at my 2.5 week check up I was cleared for soft foods and down 22.5 pounds. I noticed since starting soft foods, Ive gained about 3 pounds which I was told was normal, and should stabalize soon. The scale has been stuck for about a week and has not moved! could it be the occassional pack of fruitsnacks ive had? or the 2-3 crackers Ive had??

yes, he did..I was told wheat crackers were fine in moderation. as far as the fruit snacks they were sugar free, but ive decided to just eliminate them completely until further out

For me no crackers, bread, pasta,wheat thins, or other carbs until 75% of my weight loss is achieved.

I am on a strict budget, so Walmart is my go to, my wife helped me research and we came up with some cool Snacks, I wanted the prepackaged ones that have a small amount of nuts, meat, and cheese but they were $1.67 ea., instead we bought a large package of Jerky, can of Cashews, and round baby cheese, we'd took baggies and I used our new kitchen scale( my wife is awesome in getting me things I need to accomplish my goals), and measured out 1oz portions in each bag, I have enough snacks for 2weeks, I don't try to snack everyday, but if I do these are my go to, later this year we will also invest in a vacuum bag system so we can store larger bulk items and meats since I only use 5oz at a time, good luck

My doctor said I could have crackers as long as they have e grams of fiber. I am also stalled so I am wondering if I should cut that out

I cut crackers out for 2 days, and my stall broke. So it could be the crackers

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
