crackers

Hello there

I just started soft foods and I can have crackers. Any recommendations? I almost bought WASA but they looked dry and like cardboard.

If I'm going for taste I'd go with wheat thins, m'self.

Has anyone on solid food tried Triscuits?

Has anyone on solid food tried Triscuits?

Yup. I had them when I was sick a couple weeks ago. I couldn't keep anything down but crackers and Soup. Was a high carb week but better than starving.

I do wheat thins

I third the wheat thins. They are tasty and whole grain. Only downside is that they are small. I have 4 of them with an ounce of pepper jack cheese- one of my favorite post-op snacks!

Ok devils advocate here..., I remember that stage and well no crackers are really "good"for you..

But trust me I ate them because I was allowed:)

Saltine crackers

So the saltine low sodium wheat crackers were good and they break up "melt" better when you eat them...

Just a thought, come get me if you must

The first crackers I ate were saltines. We were allowed them pretty early on my program. Just one or two with meals. Next, I ate wheat thins and Special K wholegrain crackers. I try to only eat whole grain crackers because they fill me up better and the whole grain is good for me. I do eat triscuts occasionally, but I don't keep them in the house because I like them too much.

For me, I try to keep Snacks I enjoy, but not too much or they are too hard to resist. I've managed to find quite a few that fit the bill and have quite a list of foods that only get to visit my house occasionally.

So lets change the topic a bit ~ what whole grains do you eat to make sure you are getting enough Fiber?

[No game 14,437]

I don't really eat many grains so fiber can and is an issue for a lot of us...

Veggies!! Broccoli, cauliflower etc.
