What are your healthy go-to snacks?



Recommended Posts

It seems that for most patients, if they are going to have an issue, it is gaining weight due to snacking. (This was not an issue for me until right before year 2 - then, my "indulgences" seemed to catch up with me. NOT FAIR! :ph34r: :o :ph34r: )

I'm at that point in my VSG path and need some suggestions for some "good" snacking choices. I'm getting bored with my standbys and need some strategies (especially with Easter coming up quick and those Reese eggs calling my name :wub: !)

My standby's -

  • String Cheese
  • Cup of Tea
  • Cup of SF Apple Cidar
  • Skinny Cow Fudge Bars
  • Wine (While this is not "bad", a friend and I are giving up until Memorial Day and substituting with non-caloric fluids to see if this can help us save 100 or so calories a day.)
  • SF Jello
  • Apple Slices

Any other suggestions?

I am not sure if I qualify as a veteran, sleeved in 10/2014 so about 18 months. I am at goal and maintaining.

I always try to have on hand:

-Hard Boiled eggs - quick and easy to transport!

-Turkey slices - I like a rolled slice with cheese

-Cashews

- big fan of the low sugar fudge bar too

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
