Hi everyone,

I no this may not be an important question to some but I was just wondering, since we can't eat bread, Can you eat Crackers?? I am on the stage of mushies, and I love chicken salad with crakers. It just goes together. So far I gotten used to eatting with tuna salad with a fork. Take care!!

Hi! I just started my mushy stage a couple of days ago and crackers were on the list from the doc. I tried a few w/laughing cow cheese last night and had no problems. I got the Ritz reduced fat crackers.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

crackers aren't on my list:sad:

If i was going to have some why not try wasa crackers.

i'm on my first day of mushies (2 more weeks to go until soft solids) and i had campbell's select butternut squash Soup (just added pepper) and it was FANTASTIC. especially since i've been on clears for a week. :thumbup:

My doc recommends a baked whole grain cracker like wheat thins. I have tried them and didn't have any problems but remember only 2-3 as the calories & carb add up quickly.

Hi:

Crackers weren't on my mushies list. I eat them often, and rice cakes too. Either with Peanut Butter or chicken salad are good for me for a portable lunch. If it's rice cakes I eat just one. If it's crackers I eat four of them.

Good luck.

I will tell you that crackers CAN be in your future! I never have had any issues with crackers--but then I was on liquids and soft foods for six weeks post-op, so I wouldn't have even started on them till about two months post-op.

Even now I have a few wheat-thins every day with my Protein for lunch--and yes, I haven't had bread (or a piece of chocolate cake ) since last September--and guess what? I don't miss it!! :thumbup:

My doctor told me I could eat wheat crackers with peanut butter for protein. I don't even miss the breads and haven't tried the crackers yet. Do you mix your tuna with anything? I use light mayo and a pinch of relish. It's very tasty, you should try it.

I've had a few crackers with my chicken salad and I had no problems...I chewed really well. The only way to know is to try it. Just watch the portion because of carbs/sugar...

I had whole wheat crackers and chicken salad for lunch today. I only do it once a week, but sure enjoy it when I do. I found some wierd crackers at the store the other day that have 0% fat, almost no calories what so ever and even have a few grams of protein. I got the cracked pepper flavor and they were awesome! they are from Australia. ???? I'll look at the name again tonight and let you know. They reminded me of a thin baked merigue. I guess the egg like quality is what provided the protein, but they were delicious. I was THRILLED to find them.

Thanks everyone for the help. I will try the crakers. What I say to myself is if I don't try it, then How will I know what I can and can't eat.

I love bread but don't miss it. I just figured can have something else then just eat my meal with a fork. Thanks again everyone!!! I will give it a try..

My doctor told me I could eat wheat crackers with Peanut Butter for Protein. I don't even miss the breads and haven't tried the crackers yet. Do you mix your tuna with anything? I use light mayo and a pinch of relish. It's very tasty, you should try it.

yes I mix my tuna with boiled eggs and mayo and some relish..VERY GOOD! I never ate peanut butter yet, a little scared to cause I keep hearing that it can get stuck cause it's thick, but peanut butter is on my list. So I will try it with crakers. Thanks for answering my question for me.
