I used to have a Laughing Cow cheese wedge for a snack, too. I ate it with a cocktail fork to make it last longer. Also, Vita Tops or Vita Muffins. I still have a Vita Top every night and I am 3 1/2 months post surgery.

Also, I honestly can't remember if I was eating crackers at 3 weeks (I want to say I waited a month?) however, one of my friends on here who was banded the same day as me was eating Ritz crackers 7-10 days post op WITH her doctor's permission and she had no issues.

If it's allowed on whatever post op diet phase you're on' date=' sure. Just be sure to include both the crackers and the cheese in your daily calorie allowance.[/quote']

I eat wheat thins or trisquits. They are both 100% whole grain and baked. I don't think that's true for ritz. Love laughing cow cheese- 35 cals a wedge, can't beat it!

wheat thins or triscuits are what my nut advised... but she also says if you can tolerate regular saltines you can try them.. I am going to Walmart tomorrow and will be getting some laughing cow...

I use the laughing cow cheese, either on Trader Joe's Pita Crackers or Whole Foods Air baked crackers with sea salt. Both give yo a better serving for the calories and better sodium and nutrition. Its nice to have the crunch, I just make sure I chew REALLY well. Cheers to your Snacks :)

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
