I'm nearly a year post-op and crackers are still not on my list of approved foods. Generally, we're told to avoid carbs that aren't something like brown rice or quinoa (in small amounts) or veggies/beans and the like. Bread, crackers, Pasta are all on the list of foods to avoid.

thank you! i knew it didnt seem right.

You know some doctors say yes and othersee make you stick to clear liquids. I think I wouldn't personally, but if it's approved and you want to try it be my guest. I would stay away until I know I will be able to handle it

My surgeon says yes to grits and oatmeal. He even says toast(not brave enough for that yet) I know that grits aren't very nutritious but I was thinking of whipping them up with scoops of unflavored Protein powder just for something different. I couldn't stomach jellos or puddings before surgery and even after its hard to to get one down . Im already down to shakes, popsicles, and yogurt so it'd be nice to have a different texture at least once a week.
