Hummus and what?



Recommended Posts

Could the cheese crisps be considered an easy to chew food? I just found out from my dietitian's office that I can't have Water crackers yet because they are too dry and crunchy still.
Oh and, I have VERY bad luck with parchment paper, last time I tried to use it in the oven it caught on fire, so I'm really scared to use it in the Air Fryer. Can you explain how to make cheese crisps?
I was allowed cheese very early on due to it being easy to chew and swallow.

There are recipes online but the one I use is I pre heat oven to 400F, put little small heaps of shredded cheese. Like 24 little piles, separated from each other cause they spread out as they melt. I always use parchment paper. I once used aluminum foil, and that was mess lol. Bake in pre-heated oven until golden brown, about 6 to 7 minutes. Let it cool for 10 minutes before eating. They keep very well in a sealed container.

I'm so scared of parchment paper in the oven! Its started on fire the last time I used it. If I overcome my fear I will try this!

I think a silicone baking mat will work.

You can have Pasta, and the better way to make it a little bit healthier with some veggies thrown i. I've tried a couple so far like mushrooms, bell peppers, and cherry tomatoes with cheese.< /span>

I'm nowhere close to surgery, but what about those baby type crackers that basically dissolve? Someone on YouTube recommended them, but I'm not sure if they'd be allowed or if it'd too many carbs, or whatever. I'm curious for when I get to the stage.

Too many carbs and empty calories unfortunately.

I add date paste and cocoa powder. It is a very special, delicious sweet savory. You can also add red lentils or pureed white Beans if you want to increase the Protein while keeping it soft and vegetarian :)

      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.
