Selene 0 Posted February 19, 2013 I am 4 weeks out and want to eat Hummus with Pretzel crackers. Is that OK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VSG_me 184 Posted February 19, 2013 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
deltadawn817 106 Posted February 19, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
firelle 146 Posted February 19, 2013 Hummus is on my list of allowable foods, from mushy/soft stage on. I love that stuff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted February 19, 2013 Hummus is a great choice if you on the "soft food" phase... Enjoy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 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.

No game 14,437 Posted February 19, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TES 858 Posted February 19, 2013 For the soft/mushy stage, do you just eat the hummus with a spoon like you would eat refried Beans or something? Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
No game 14,437 Posted February 19, 2013 I did (tiny spoon) but I LOVE hummus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No game 14,437 Posted February 20, 2013 Your lucky you tried guacamole or I wouldn't talk to you again!!! 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.

firelle 146 Posted February 20, 2013 I think you either love it or hate it. There's a lot of different flavors, too - garlic, roasted red pepper, etc. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatrosie 176 Posted February 20, 2013 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
