6 weeks out - Crunchy foods?



Recommended Posts

I love Rice Crisps Sweet Chili and these crunchy vegetable sticks that taste like potato chips but they're made from spinach, Tomato, and potato. I would like to try some new crunchy Snacks, what do you like?

I love kale chips! In my grocery store you can find them in the produce aisle. They come in different flavors but I like the parmesan ones the best. There are a ton of kale chip recipes on line if you want to make them yourself.

Almost 8 weeks out and I am not ready to try anything crunchy. Honestly, I would rather not risk being adventurous and the repercussions. My one treat is 2-4 pieces of dry roasted edamame (the size of a pea), and I usually grab them and keep on going as I chew them to death. Very tasty and curb my craving for salty snack.

I think I might be over cautious, but one choking episode on small bite of chicken (ate too fast/didn't chew so well) that caused me to feel like I was having a serious heart attack has made me this way.

I am a little afraid that when I buy the chip style treats that I will go back to eating too much. Sticking to popsicles!

Hope everyone is having a sunshiny Monday!

be very careful when you stray into that section...it might even be too soon for you... check with your dr on some crunchy alternatives... some of those vegetable chips, etc., have hidden junk in them...read your labels, but you'd be better off making something yourself...check online bariatric recipes for help

      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.
