I am pre-op but in my planning I'm told you should not eat anything that will "gum up". A test I was told was to see what it did in water, if it got gummy avoid it but things like crackers are ok. Good luck!

Sounds good. However there is one thing perhaps you should consider: How many carbohydrates does it has? Some (maybe all?) carbohydrates turn into sugar! So then you may gain weight from that. Also, for me, if I eat anything with carbohydrates then I have to be careful not to go on an eating binge. I CRAVE CARBOHYDRATES. Now if it does'nt set you off, then you are lucky. However I would worry about the carbs turning into sugar and then sugar into fat. Perhaps others here know more about this than I do.
