I am 3 weeks out tomorrow. Can I have a cracker or pita chip with my hummus or guacamole?!

I don't know.  What does your surgeon's plan say?  I was not supposed to have anything hard or crunchy until six weeks out.

That's what I thought as well.  But another piece of my info says crackers with hummus. Any suggestions what to eat w hummus at purée stage?  Or just by itself?

If you are allowed processed carbs at this stage, I would suppose so. They were absolutely not allowed for me at 3 weeks out and even now at 6 months are highly discouraged to keep weight loss going. We're asked to hold off until maintenance for processed carbs, if at all.

Please consult your surgeon & nutritionist for how to do it their way.  Biggest regret? Not doing this 10 years ago! Every day is better than the day before...and it was a pretty great day!

My surgeon didn't allow crackers or any type of simple carbs that early out, but different surgeons have different plans.  Maybe someone on here will post a great way to enjoy your hummus and guacamole without the

crackers if you find out your surgeon prefers you not to eat them.  I have gotten really good meal ideas on here through the years by asking a question just like you have done.  Good luck to you!  I remember those early days after surgery trying to figure out what to eat.  It gets easier.

At week 5 & 6 we could eat cereal and whole grain crackers.

I was allowed to have crackers at about 5 weeks out but a great alternative to the crackers is I cut thin slices of cucumber and scoop up the hummus with that! It's delicious!

Never thought about doing that.  I love cucumbers.  Will have to give that a try.

My plan says not until six months.
