I'm in my 3rd week post-op, and saltines (4-6 per serving) are part of my mushy diet from the clinic, too. They really breakdown very quickly into mush in the mouth when chewing. To be on th safe side, it took me 20 minutes to eat 6 crackers smeared with a VERY thin bit of creamy Peanut Butter (also allowed on my mushy phase)... LOL! I took very small bites and chewed them a lot. So as long as you chew them well, it shouldn't be a problem.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
