Non refrigerated snacks



Recommended Posts

So in June I will be going on vacation. Being only a week and a half out now, it seems like all my Snacks (yogurt, Jello etc) all have to be refrigerated. On vacation I will not have access to a refrigerator all the time and would like to find some snacks that I can tote with me. Any ideas? I like the idea of cheese, but good luck finding cheese that doesn't need to be refrigerated. Any suggestions?

By June you should be able to incorporate more Snacks into your regime. So guessing then at 9 weeks or more things you could try:

nuts

Protein Bars

high Fiber crackers

those packs of crackers and cheese(not the healthiest but will fill you up)

Jerky or pepperoni sticks

smalls cans of tuna, chicken(these are great to bring, I have done so)

I love the 100% juice fruit cups, especially the pears. Can you have that? SF pudding doesn't have to be refrigerated..

I buy these spicy pumpkin seeds from the whole foods bulk area. They are awesome. I've always loved spicy food, but now I crave it in postop life.

Depending on how far out you are from surgery..... I stumbled on the best quick snack that is ready to eat, Jiff Peanut Butter to-go. I keep them in my purse with little individual wrapped spoons. (Funny that the only thing I have gone into fast food places for are their spoons! ). This fills me up and stays with ya. 9grams of Protein. May not be the healthiest but holds you over and is great on the go. They sell big boxes at warehouse places too. Have a great vaca!

I am so sorry I didn't read more carefully and just now saw you are newly sleeved. How I missed that I don't know. Guess I saw "vaca" and thought woohoo! Ask your NUT about the Peanut Butter. I am 7mo out and have been eating it for awhile. I cannot, however, eat it with crackers. Don't like the way it feels. Where are you going on vacation?

      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.
