What are you turning to when you are looking to eat something with CRUNCH? I have had issues with some raw veggies, so not sure that is a good option for me. I am usually content with pretty much whatever I eat however, I find myself wanting to really crunch something every now & then.

I eat almonds. I also will eat a saltine with PB on it.

I make "cheese" crackers. 275 degree oven, break slices of cheese into smaller pieces, put on parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes. Makes the cheese crunchy like a cracker. You can bake longer if you want them crunchier. Protein and crunch all in one.

I've used cheddar, swiss, havarti, colby jack.

I've made the baked cheese too. 1 tsp of whatever kind you like baked on parchment paper for 7-10 mins at 350. Makes great dip for hummus.

I'm not into the regular food phase yet, but I would say celery with some PB2, carrots, apples, and almonds. I have tried the ice chips as suggested above, and that is working for now (while at this phase).

Quinoa chips!!! They're REALLY good, as good as regular chips and 9 grams of Protein and 130 calories. I found them last week at Burlington Coat Factory (I know, random) and I'm glad I tried them. Haven't looked for them in the grocery store yet but I'm betting on them not being too hard to find.

Yes the quinoa chips are good and I found lentil ones at costco the other day and they are yummy!

Dried/dehydrated veggies (beets, zucchini, carrots), fresh veggies, Quest makes Protein chips (not my favorite).

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
