What was your first "crunch"?
I'm currently on the soft foods portion of my diet, and I'm scheduled to move to the "Full Bariatric Diet" on November 19th, where I'm am basically off food restrictions (while keeping things healthy, of course). Overall, things haven't been bad, but I'm definitely missing eating things that give me a good crunch. The soft texture of everything is probably the toughest thing so far. When you were able to get beyond soft foods, what sort of things with a crunch worked well for you? I'm thinking starting with some saltines or wheat things with tuna salad may be a good starting point, or possibly making some baked cheese crisps. Any other good starting suggestions?

Crackers with tuna. My plan allowed for crackers pretty early and I was veerrrry happy to have them.

Also Wasa light Rye crackers. I use them and put tuna or chicken or egg salad on them

I'm allowed crackers at this stage, but my information says just that, nothing about what type. I know to watch the carbs and the calories, so that's why I was wondering about what worked for other people.
There's a lot of great ideas here. Thanks everyone. But I totally forgot about Pork Rinds!

I wouldn't eat saltines. They are just flour and water. Bad bad bad.
