Hummus

Can I have this on full liquids? Since it's like the consistency of pudding....or do I need to wait until the Pureed stage?

i was told to wait til pureed.  I was in heaven when I could have hummus and refried beans. lol

I didn't have a liquid only phase post op, but I was allowedd hummus on my plan from the first week. I still eat it as part of my evening snack everynight with some baby carrots (highly recommend the Zabra Jalapeno hummus when you are allowed it!).

I started the pureed stage a couple of days ago and I had some Jalapeno hummus last night for the first time.  The stuff is wonderful.  I thought I had died and gone to heaven. 

I am 6 days post op and on full liquids.

Another 9 days until I can move ahead to puréed foods.

I was told that the only new things I could add were milk, if well tolerated, and strained cream soups.

I would kill for diversity right now, but wouldn't risk it. Just my humble opinion, but follow what your Dr suggested.

Hello! I am also 6 days post op and on a liquid only diet. I would stay away from hummus until the pureed stage. I have thought about that with baked potato soup if I take the chunks of potato out but I remember part of this surgery is to teach me not to be a food addict anymore so I will wait until the next stage. being addicted to food is what got me to 333 pounds so I am breaking that habit. I am bored of the same flavors but i know its only a few more days before pureed stage :) Hang in there!

Be careful.... it made me super crazy gassy!  I ate it about 4 months out. 

I developed an  ulcer right after surgery (within the first week) and started hummus with pureed foods and it was one of the only things that didn't hurt and double me over in pain. I get it from a chain restaurant called Zoe's kitchen, it's really yummy.
