Something crunchy



Recommended Posts

I'm craving something crunchy. I'm not allowed raw vegetables yet. What are some good alternative options?

I eat Ritz crackers for a crunch. Even on my pureed diet - you can chew them down to mush ~~~ !

Crackers with Protein, dried chickpeas and Beans, nuts, pumpkin or other seeds. Air fry thinly sliced veg like carrot, sweet potato, zuchinni, beets to make homemade healthy chips. I plan to do that at some stage and eat with dips like hummus, tzatziki and salsa. Cucumber if allowed?

I've never had roasted chickpeas. Recommendations on brand or flavor

I can't help there being on the other side of the world lol. I'm sure there all good. They're really yum Lindsay! Roasted Broad Beans are good too, they have a slightly nutty taste.

Cucumber wedges. Sprinkle with a little salt. Yum. The high Water content should make cucumber easy to eat & digest. Worth a try anyway. If you can’t have raw vegetables yet, which is so you don’t strain or overtax your digestion, roasted chick peas & fava Beans, & vegetable chips may be off the table too (too dry & coarse) but check with your dietician to be sure & for suggestions. You never know. I was told my vegetables had to be soft & well cooked (almost mushy) to begin.

So I bought roasted chickpeas and roasted edamame. I tolerated them both really well. They are nice because they chew to a very small consistency. My only complaint is that it makes me thirsty because they are so dry. They satisfy the crunch craving, and I get Protein and Fiber, so win. Thanks for all the suggestions! Keep them coming if anyone has other ideas.

That's great Lindsay! I love edamame but have never had toasted ones. I have 4 tins of depodded ones, will have to air fry some.

      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!!
