I was wondering when someone would ask me that. Saltine crackers for taste. After Protein of course. Plus it was one of those foods that I would eat when ever I had the flu. It was easy on the stomach so I figured starting with those may help with transitioning from liquids and strained cream soups. Not like its going to be a main part of meals just a help w transitioning.

Had my post op appointment today (kaiser patient) and just got cleared to stage three. So the first thing I added was saltine crackers, two. Sucked and chewed until apple sauce consistency. They tasted so good. That was almost two hours ago. No problems. tonight I will try either eggs or thin shaved deli turkey. Finally found a protein I like. Via reading posts through out this website. Anyway Premium Protein Chocolate Shake from Costco. 30g of protein, 160 cal and 11 fl oz. dr says if I don't react well to newly added foods to stop and go back to clear liquids and protein shakes only for 24 hours. Here's to new flavors in my mouth.

Agreed! I love this website/forum. It has really helped these past few days with support and knowledge. And just knowing there are other people going through the same emotions as I am. ????
