smg 471 Posted June 23, 2016 Where are you on your journey? Pre-op? Post-op? If post-op, how far? I would normally say not to worry too much and just to get right back on track but if you are super-recently post-op I would REALLY be careful with things like croutons that can be kind of "rough" and/or "sharp"...especially on a healing tummy. Moving forward, if you are looking for something crunchy...try nuts or Quest Protein chips. Best of luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Inner Surfer Girl 12,015 Posted June 23, 2016 Crushed ice is also an option if you want something crunchy. Embrace the Stall http://BariatricPal.com/index.php?/topic/351046-Embrace-the-Stall Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sophie74656 1,572 Posted June 23, 2016 Be really careful. You are still healing and you don't want to damage your staple line. I remember missi g the chewing sensation. If you have a Sonic near you try to get just a cup of crushed ice from them. It has a really good texture and you can chew it up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

erp 2,016 Posted June 26, 2016 The chips are salty and taste a bit like cardboard. You can have them when you are cleared by your surgeon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
