Snack And Mini Meal Ideas?



Recommended Posts

I'm getting tired of the same ol' Snacks and mini meals. I currently use Emily Bites recipes and eat a lot of yogurt, shaved meets, canned meats, cheeses, etc.

Anyone have any new ideas for the salt lover in me? On the go ideas would be great too. I can only have nuts 1-2 times per week. Thank you in advance.

Pork grinds, just be careful with them they are high Protein, and high calorie. I always get green giant broccoli and cheese single serving it's 40 calories if you buy the 4 pack they are perfect sleeve size. Those are not high protein, 2 grams, but it does have Fiber and makes a good healthy snack.< /p>

If I'm craving a salty snack I eat an ounce of beef Jerky - an ounce is a lot more than you would think or I will drink bouillon. Gets liquid in and kills the salt craving!

Dill pickes are another option but my sleeve doesnt like them.

I like dry roasted edamame! 1/4 cup has 14 grams of protein! It is very filling! They also make wasabi flavor!

Where do you find dry roasted edamame in the grocery store?

I got it on Amazon! It could be in the organic or nut section, but I didn't see it in my supermarket. The local Asian market has it too!

I've never tried edamame. What does it taste like? Salty? I love salt. lol

Yes, salty! The serving size is 1/4 cup and very filling! 14 grams of protein! It's dry roasted but they also make a Wasabi that was too hot for me! I bring it to the movies with me:)

Celery and string cheese

Dried plaintains (taste like potato chips)

Boiled egg (great for eating on the go)

Go to nuts.com. They sell every kind of dried fruit imaginable. And they have a dried vegetable mix that is a fun and healthy snack.< /p>

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
