Crackers

[Jazmundo 58]

When can we begin crackers? I know it's not the best choice but just wondering .. TIA

Cracker pretzels have no yeast. I can eat 4 and be full

I'm 6 months out, and I have never had any. Yet.

There are just other, much more nutritious foods that I like much better that I've added in first.

I haven't eaten crackers, and I wont given my prior cracker-craziness. However, my doctors office has whole grain crackers on the allowed food list starting at the three week mark. They do say to still eat Protein first- for example, don't eat tuna on the crackers, eat the tuna first and then the crackers.

I don't eat regular crackers, but I do eat these in moderation. Still a little high in carbs, but I figure they are better than wheat crackers. I didn't start eating these until about 3 months out....

Okay coolness thanks for the comments

I like the little packs of cheese crackers with Peanut Butter inside. 17 g carbs 3 g sugar and 4 g Protein. They're a great little snack.< /p>

Also, I've found that Blue Diamond has a line of almond crackers that are wonderful. They have a variety of flavors. I rub the salt off of them.

30 crackers is a serving. I can eat about six.

Crackers aren't an everyday item, but I buy 34 Degree Whole Grain Crisps. They are wafer thin, like communion wafers - but with a much larger diameter and come in several flavors: rosemary, poppy seed, sesame, toasted onion, cracked pepper and natural.

9 crackers is a serving; 50 calories, no fat, 2 g Protein and 10 carbs. They are a good size too, so you can fit a lot of topping on them. It's impossible to eat a full serving with toppings, so it comes out to 1 carb per cracker.

We can't an entire serving, maybe six or so chips so I don't think it's a big deal. Those are so good!

Oh my gosh but DON'T get the Honey Mustard flavor! I found myself grazing on them all day because they are so stinking good! I decided keep them out of the house, lol.

Lol, I like the pepper jack ones, I think? 2nd fav is smokehouse. I usually dip them in the flavored cream cheese. That way I get filled up quicker and eat fewer crackers.

How do you top yours?

Have you ever found them at Walmart? I've never seen them there!

I occasionally had a few saltines during the early weeks starting the week of the surgery (part of the doc's plan). They weren't a staple or anything, but they are useful for soaking up excess stomach acid if things feel a bit off. I probably wouldn't do any of the whole grain crackers early on, but saltines break down so fast that they are basically liquid by the time they hit your stomach.

Saltines are on my approved list beginning at three weeks they are paired with tuna on the list. My three weeks is on Monday so I may or may not try them we will see how it goes.

I really like the Mediterranean Snacks brand baked lentil chips. There are 20 per serving, and I usually eat half a serving with tuna. A serving has 120 calories and 4g of Protein, so higher in protein than most crackers/chips. They come in a few different flavors. Vitacost.com carries them at (more) reasonable prices, but I do find them at my local upscale supermarket and natural food store.
