Leepers 1,195 Posted October 5, 2015 Have you ever seen those bags of sweet mini peppers near the bell peppers in the grocery? They're delicious and crunchy. I eat them all the time with chicken or tuna salad or dip. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaS73 13 Posted October 5, 2015 Thanks everybody for the good suggestions, I appreciate it! I ended up skipping the dips anyway lol. Wanted to save all my room for gumbo, which I could still only eat a tiny bit of. Is gumbo broth a thing? Cuz I could drink that all day! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fame 53 Posted October 5, 2015 (edited) I think tortilla is either your doctors preference or a personal one.. My doctor allows tortillas starting on my week 3. Hopefully I tolerate it ok... Edited October 5, 2015 by Fame Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LisaS73 13 Posted October 6, 2015 I think my restriction is just that tortilla chips are too hard to process, and I assumed they would be a no no like any chips would be even after I am on regular foods again. As far as soft tortillas, I was told no soft bread of any kind, I can't remember for how long, because of the risk of a bread ball forming and blocking my pouch. I guess I should ask again when I see the nutritionist tomorrow! I think tortilla is either your doctors preference or a personal one.. My doctor allows tortillas starting on my week 3.

Cape Crooner 589 Posted October 23, 2015 I've been thinking about this. My local grocery store sells large and thin pita pockets that are 100 calories each. I'm thinking you could cut one up into quite a few little triangles (16-24) and the bake em with salt & pepper (maybe garlic or onion powder) in a Pam coated baking pan. Combine with a Greek yogurt dip and you'd have more than you possibly eat without going over 150 calories. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sophie74656 1,572 Posted October 26, 2015 I just got my first shipment from the BariatricPal Store and I had ordered the Protein chips. I think they would be great with a dip. They're delicious on their own they have a great crunch. But if you're looking for something chip like to dip with they would be great Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sharon1964 2,530 Posted October 27, 2015 You might want to check with your doctor first. Mine says no bread, crackers, or Pasta for six months. The ingredient list includes corn flour, rice flour, potato flour... kind of sounds like the ingredients for crackers to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
