I snack on nuts and seeds. Do you have a Trader Joe's near you? Or try any supermarket that has a natural or "wholesome" section. I love the dry roasted edamame for crunch (that's soy beans) and wasabi peas or peanuts for some real eye-opening flavor.

When I'm in need of extra Fiber (ahem), I'll eat a good handful of raisins or dried cranberries. (Trader Joe's also has a faboo selection of dried fruit.)

But I don't snack much anymore. Just now when I got home from work, my stomach is growling pre-dinner. I had a very small handful of pistachio nutmeats and now I'm good to go until dinner. ;)

Well these days if i do feel like snacking i have to actually plan it because i have so little room.I tried the crispy minis and they were good.

We watch the hockey play offs(Senators!!!) and everyone's sitting around munching away...don't want to feel left out but don't want nachos

on my hips either(or my belly,arms, legs,chin.......;) )

Trader Joes is awesome!

They only have stores on the east coast side and they are adding more location see website www.traderjoes.com

I buy meat, cheese, nuts you name it from there. If you have one by you or even a close drive it is so worth going. They have a snack called veggie bootie. It is like eatting chips but better for you. I believe it has 4 to 6 gram prot in 1/2 cup. I like to get the carmel for a snack. It is nice to have every once in a while. I get out a bag and set it out for parties and no one knows it is good for you;)

Almonds are good. I eat popcorn-some don't because they are affaid it might get stuck but as long as you don't shove a whole hand full in your mouth you should be good.

Now that spring is finally here Watermelon is great and very filling.

I read someone was eatting it for Breakfast and tried it myself and boy.. It is so good and filling.

I know they make a high protien pretzel too. They are filling- my doctor told me about them.

You know those nachos are good too as long as you eat more cheese or Beans on them than the chip itself!

Treat yourself!! The band will do its work and let you know if that was a bad idea to eat or not. And if now walk an extra lap around the block before you sit down to watch Tv:}

I hear alot about soy but I think I read somewhere that it could affect the thyroid meds i take.I will have to check it again.

Senators are out of the playoffs so the sitting around and snacking is not that bad(my coworkers is sitting beside me eating a bag of hickorey sticks...shhesh:confused:

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
