cataro 39 Posted January 20, 2013 I was on liquids for 3 weeks. Sometimes I wanted to cheat and eat something more substantial, but I figured better safe than sorry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
O.T.R. sleever 3,386 Posted January 20, 2013 Though not recommended, I don't see hummus being a problem. But what would be a potential problem is what you might put it on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheCurvyJones 721 Posted January 20, 2013 Though not recommended, I don't see hummus being a problem. But what would be a potential problem is what you might put it on. I was going to say this... At 10 days out it will be too early for any kind of fibrous veggie and I'm not sure a pita chip would go down nice. I'll tell you my experience... I was about 2 weeks out or so and I bought a bag of pork skins and used the small pieces to scoop hummus with. I was thinking I was doing well and being creative, not using any kind of bread or veggies and pork skins are all Protein. Well. Hummus is one of those foods that goes down smooth and the pork skins break down with saliva to mush easily. So I ate... and watched TV and ate and ate and OMG CRAP I NEED TO SLOW DOWN. A little too much............and Jelly The Sleeve did NOT like that very much at all. Nope. Not at all. HOWEVER... before surgery I might have eaten it with a spoon. I'll never admit it open court.

joatsaint 2,814 Posted January 20, 2013 Everyone's stomach is a little different, so I can only relate my experiences. I test a new food by eating about 1/4 teaspoon and waiting 5 minutes to see if I feel any discomfort. If none, then I eat a 1/2 tsp and wait another 5 minutes. I was able to eat boiled eggs, Vienna sausages, re-fried Beans, yogurt after 14 days. But everything was finely chopped or put in a blender. My stomach still doesn't like sugar free Jell-O, sugar free popsicles or chicken.< /p> Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
