    1. Are you planning to puree the cracker? 2. Are you allowed to eat nutrition-free, high carb, high calorie foods like crackers, the kinds of foods that made you obese in the first place, in your pur

    I often have to remind myself that while I CAN eat something it doesn't mean I SHOULD. I ate my tuna (chicken salad, really, don't like tuna), with a baby spoon. No room for crackers.

  • You definitely should ask your doctor, but my doctor (and from what I've read most doctors) discourage eating simple carbs like crackers in the early days. I was told you can eventually eat them in mo

I never suggested for her to eat cucumber on purée stage. I said " as soon as your plan allow you to have cucumber... That was just a idea and a better choice than cracker later on....

I have carbs on my menu. My nut says I can have it: pureed rice, pureed pasta but I choose not to just because only the thought of pureed rice/pasta makes me sick. Moderation is the key not avoiding completely carbs. Think about it if you don't eat it for 6-8 months when you gonna start eating the carbs again the weight will pile back on with vengeance. As I said before I believe you can be successful if you stick to the natural stuff and ditch all the other stuff that brought you here in the first place. As for crackers, it might be a bit too early.

I totally agree. :D

My sushi guy uses cucumber instead of rice to hold my sushi together. It's awesome. Red peppers work, too. (Not for sushi, for salads and dips.)

Check out this blog.. Her puréed suggestions saved me those two weeks. The rest is great for our new eating habits.

I like my tuna on a cucumber slice or in a hollowed out tomato

@@s.thompson, I don’t think you can have crackers on the pureed foods diet. Are they listed among the approved foods that you have a list of? Generally, like @@Inner Surfer Girl says, you want to keep your pureed foods foods that you can eat with a spoon. They should be perfectly smooth. Crackers can be sharp and bother the wounds of your sleeve – remember, you’re still healing.

oh.......... pickles. mmmmmm thats what I have when I need something a little salty, but I am on regular foods now.

and drinking the pickle juice is one of my very favorite delights.
