My surgeon said a couple are ok and they are helpful when my stomach is not so happy, but others are allowed no crackers, bread, etc.

I was told crackers and pretzels are "slider" foods. You know they slide right through your pouch without giving you any type of full sensation. They are on my foods not recommended list as well. (List given to me by nutritionist)

I wasn't allowed any bread or crackers until five weeks post-op. When you can eat them, you might want to try Kashi Pita Crisps. I've had the 7 Grain Sea Salt and the Zesty Salsa. Both are 120 cals, 11 crisps per serving, 3g of Protein and 22g of carbs. I enjoy crunchy and these crackers are very crunchy. I eat them with all kinds of things and they really are quite tastey!

i made the mistake of trying one of my daughters goldfish crackers. Went down so easy. Problem is they are addictive! Get them away from me!

I had 1-2 no more honest. I have self control. I see it all day long & look and I don't get that urge to attack and eat it. That was like a once in a life time thing. I don't attack the chips neither. I'm not keeping it out of the house. The Kids should enjoy some junk. They eat vey well.

      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.
