All Dr's have different guidelines of when to eat things so as always, check with your Doctor first.

My Dr allows all foods by week 4 so I think this would be fine, just chew chew chew those crackers!

Again, check with your doc first! :)

I would say the Hummus is OK but the pretzel crackers are too rough. I felt if I ate rough foods I payed for it the next day or later that day I could not each as much maybe it made me swollen.

Hummus is on my list of allowable foods, from mushy/soft stage on. I love that stuff.

I agree.

First check with your doctor, but I would say yes to hummus no to pretzels. BTW my doctor/NUT don't want their patients to have bread, Pasta, etc.. until at least 6 or 8 months after surgery.

Some doctors "ok" saltine crackers (just a tiny bit)

When you are on the soft food stage because they break down (melt) after chewing well.

Ask your Nut or Dr.

For the soft/mushy stage, do you just eat the hummus with a spoon like you would eat refried Beans or something? Thanks!

Hummus (Arabic: حُمُّص‎) is a Middle Eastern and Arabic food dip or spread made from cooked, mashed chickpeas blended with tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, salt and garlic.[1] Today, it is popular throughout the Middle East, Turkey, North Africa, Morocco, and in Middle Eastern cuisine around the globe.

I think you either love it or hate it. There's a lot of different flavors, too - garlic, roasted red pepper, etc.

I love the roasted pine nut hummus. Though I haven't had it since surgery because I just have to dip carrots in my hummus.

      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.
