Hi all,

I read here in another post that people were eating saltines in their pureed stage... Is that because the crackers basically turn to mush as you chew them? Dare I go out and buy some to have with my whipped chicken and egg salads?

You are correct on that yes :)

If it doesn't specify on your diet plan though, you know what going say..... Check with your doc.

:P

Wait a minute!! I stand corrected its more of a soft food stage not purée :(

Can you live without them for a bit? I mean, right now your carb intake is super low and you might be in Ketosis burning lots of fat! The crackers could impact that, besides - you need Protein more right now!

Actually with the sleeve and bread crunchy is better... It grounds down into dust like particles opposed to soggy bits that will expand in the tummy.

Saltines, wheat thins and yes my Melba are all great candidates to be eaten lol :P

      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.
