crunchy foods

[CNP28 1]

I buy them at kroger. It's a grocery store. I'm sure u can also find where they are sold on their website. They are wonderful. I will have two wasa crackers with a wedge of laughing cow cheese for a snack. It keeps me satisfied for hours and it's 75 calories total

I forgot to add that I buy the crisp n light 7 grain. They also have rye, sourdough, wheat, any many others. I don't know the nutrition info on the other flavors but the website will give you all the info u need to decide what's best for you

I'll have to check out Krogers next time I am Down State. (we don't have one up here.)

But I will look at some of the other Grocery Stores up here.

Thanks, Shirley

I use and my surgeon allows wasa crackers. They give u the crunch effect and literally dissolve in your mouth before u have the chance to swallow. They are long thin crackers and are 20 calories a cracker. I usually put tuna on top of mine. I love them!

Thanks for the info. I will stop and get some in the morning on the way to work.

Thanks Shirley. I will try to stay with my name here, halesredrose. Will let you know. I need al the help I can get. You are so right about the 2nd time around. I was so nervous and a worrier the first time out!

What happened back then?Experienced some major trauma, so I exercised to excess, ate very little, then started throwing up and couldn't get out of the habit. It took it's toll and I finally ended up doing some outpatient eating disorder treatment last fall. I am now in better condition health wise and ready to lose again.

I also think since I've been through it before, it is easier in ways. However, the head hunger(as you called it and you are so on target!) is driving me batty!

Do you snack any? I am not suppose to at all. that's tough. Right now, I am still having to go back to liquids and it's been a week. I think I am eating too quickly when I do have regular food like grilled chicken. that's what happened today so I had Soup tonight.

Can you give me some ideas of good meals that stay down?

This is where myfitnesspal.com comes in handy !

But any meat that I have I dip in BBQ Sauce or Low Fat Ranch or canned gravy or Something. Otherwise it's bound to get stuck or hung up.

I have a recipe in the mushie stage if you want it. It's good, and I know I like it.

Ingredients

1 large cottage cheese

1 12 oz cool whip

1 15 oz can crushed pineapple DRAINED.

1 small box of Jello (compatible to pineapple) NO Water !:

drain the pineapple in a strainer, in a large bowel pour in the powder Jello, add cool whip, and stir until dissolved, add cottage cheese, blend in crushed pineapple, then chill overnight.

I take a 1/2 cup of that, and I'm good to go. It's a salad, and it is even listed on MFP. Calories, and Protein.

Look me up Losingintime, and view my Diary. You can go back for days, months .

I do between 800-1200 calories a day, 60-80 G of Protein a day. Thats all I worry about.

If two of those were Snacks, then they are recorded, and added up, as long as I don't go over 1200 I am fine, and if I go to a Restaurant, and I eat 1400 calories,,,, I don't get down on myself (I use too) I just start again tomorrow. You need this if your banded. This is another tool for us to use..
