Question about Crakers



Recommended Posts

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 :unsure: ) since last September--and guess what? I don't miss it!! :thumbup:

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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
