Do you eat crackers?



Recommended Posts

When did people start eating crackers and what kind did you try? I need something to put my laughing cow cheese or hummus on. I don't want to push boundaries though, I'm only 4 weeks out

I started eating them like 3 months out! 4 Weeks may be a little soon! But when your ready reduced fat wheat thins or triscuits worked for me just chew them really really good! Best of luck :)

What kind did you try? Triscuits and wheat thins seem too tough. I was thinking something soft and bland like ritz...

Does anyone have any non-cracker or carb alternatives for cheese spread/hummus? Not allowed raw veggies yet.

I have 1 saltine every morning to try to soak up the acid in my pouch and get it out! I've been doing that since about week 3. Like another poster said- might be early for a heavy cracker. Just be careful with eating them... I've heard it's easy to eat many!

Thanks y'all. I appreciate the input. I've been dunking provolone cheese in hummus (which is awesome!) so maybe I'll try some cold cuts with the laughing cow cheese. I don't want to overdue anything but wasn't sure if people were occasionally eating a few (!) crackers without incident.

Ceackers and many other starch products dissolve in your mouth so don't really impact your stomach. This is why we can eat so many chips.absorption starts in your mouth, so I have been told. Chew em 35 times and there is nothing left to swallow.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
