Heh, so I've noticed I have a habit of making posts where the title is literally just one food item and I just know this will garner a discussion on several foods that are related, but yeah, there's my little introspection for the moment.

Anywho, my guidelines say at week three I can add in crackers, but it specifies non-seeded crackers and non-grains. It suggests saltines and melba toast as examples. What exactly constitutes a "grain" cracker? Would wheat thins fall into that? I'm not a huge fan of saltines but I would like to find some good crackers to have some guac and hummus with. I like wheat thins but I know they run rather salty and I'm not entirely sure if wheat is what they mean by grains. In my mind, I was imagining things like shredded wheat and really fibrous type crackers, but I'm not sure.

Any thoughts? It also suggests corn/flour tortillas and baked tortilla chips so I might try those as well.

Yeah, sure. If you eat vegetables, you are a vegetables garden and so on.

Interesting subject/reading!! I kinda skipped a few pages of comments, but.....I'm 3 weeks out and I occasionally eat a single Club cracker with a thin layer of smooth cheese spread (darn you Sam's Club taster people) at the end of a day, maybe twice a week. I take small bites, chew them up into a paste...NOT hurting my tummy or weight loss and I get to feel that little feeling of "cheating" lol (I work hard to not think of it as a "reward" because we're not dogs and food shouldn't be used as a reward. Side note: My mother did this to me my entire childhood, not that I blame her or anything lol)

I'm one of those people who has never really ate too much of something, but chose the wrong foods for meals/snacks, so I CAN have just 1 cracker and walk away. Do I want 2? Sure!!! But I understand and keep reminding myself that I only have 1 year for this surgery to REALLY DO ITS JOB for me, and I'm not gonna blow it by overindulging with crackers. I prayed/worked too hard to get this surgery!!

I've tried the Wheat Thins (low fat) with tuna/low fat mayo, but that's a LOT of chewing to get the consistency I need. So giving the box to hubby!
