And I'm in charge of making dips so I was thinking of making spinach artichoke dip and beer cheese dip sooo regardless if I can eat it or not I'm making that. But question is my surgery was 10/7 am I allowed any of the above spinach artichoke dip with be light cream cheese and beer cheese dip with be lowfat cheese and a low carb beer??

I don't see why not if you can tolerate it okay. Question is, what are you going to use to dip? Can you do veggies yet? You don't really want to do chips or crackers. Too carby.

You might try making one with higher Protein that would be better for you to get your protein goals. I made a Skinn(ish) Buffalo chicken dip for a party tonight that was really good and high in protein, low carb, moderate fat. Also, at about 4 weeks post-op, I made a mexican layer dip that was easy for me to eat with fat free refried Beans, mashed avocado, 0% greek yogurt (mixed with a little lime and taco seasoning), 2% sharp cheddar, pico de gallo and olives. I left the pico de gallo and olives out of my portion. It was easy to eat and got protein from the yogurt, beans and cheese.

@@Babbs is right about the dipper though. I just used a fork.

Well I am not allowed vegetables raw yet even though I am on soft foods but I was thinking of doing a buffalo chicken salad for me and adding some of the beer dip or artichoke just a tad to every bite lmao is that too much ??

Someone brought this to my party last night, I ate it with a couple of Wheat Thins and dipped a few carrots in it.

I don't have the nutritional values but I imagine it is low carb and not horribly caloric. You could always use reduced fat cheeses.

A low fat Trisket is 13 calories, far less than a cheese crisp (50~).
