Fruit Snacks and Crackers?!



Recommended Posts

Ok guys. Im 28 days post op. at my 2.5 week check up I was cleared for soft foods and down 22.5 pounds. I noticed since starting soft foods, Ive gained about 3 pounds which I was told was normal, and should stabalize soon. The scale has been stuck for about a week and has not moved! could it be the occassional pack of fruitsnacks ive had? or the 2-3 crackers Ive had??

yes, he did..I was told wheat crackers were fine in moderation. as far as the fruit snacks they were sugar free, but ive decided to just eliminate them completely until further out

For me no crackers, bread, pasta,wheat thins, or other carbs until 75% of my weight loss is achieved.

I am on a strict budget, so Walmart is my go to, my wife helped me research and we came up with some cool Snacks, I wanted the prepackaged ones that have a small amount of nuts, meat, and cheese but they were $1.67 ea., instead we bought a large package of Jerky, can of Cashews, and round baby cheese, we'd took baggies and I used our new kitchen scale( my wife is awesome in getting me things I need to accomplish my goals), and measured out 1oz portions in each bag, I have enough snacks for 2weeks, I don't try to snack everyday, but if I do these are my go to, later this year we will also invest in a vacuum bag system so we can store larger bulk items and meats since I only use 5oz at a time, good luck

My doctor said I could have crackers as long as they have e grams of fiber. I am also stalled so I am wondering if I should cut that out

I cut crackers out for 2 days, and my stall broke. So it could be the crackers

      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.
