Are there ANY brands out there of chips crackers or anything crunchy that are ok on an occasional basis? I mean for dipping, like hummus? Would pretzels be ok? Or for tuna/chicken salad? Every once in a while it would be nice to have a crunch vessel to eat it on. I understand they might be sliders and have little nutrition but for me try would be a good treat like how others may indulge on popcorn or something once or twice a month. I'm talking way past regular food stage and also once I've reached a good "maintain" point too that is. Just wanna know what my options are!!!! Thank you :)

Hi I don't suppose you would have to sign up...

But if you do you get all of those discounts instantly! And it's all the same info you'd have to give to order. You can order once and not ever order again.

The magic pops are hands down one of my staples though, hummus, tuna, even a hamburger patty!

They taste a bit like rice cakes and they are big

And only 15 calories :)

These are really good - and they're made from beans!

I do hummus crisps. Kashi and Quaker makes them and both are really good. Both are around 120-130 calories, 16-20 carbs, 3-4g of Protein. I've used them with low fat/low calorie chicken, egg, and crab salad, or bean dip. The serving size is quite large for both too 16-20 crisps so I've never actually gotten a full serving size down, but they are really good.

We started at around the same weight but I am about four and half months out.

I found them at my local Walmart and I have a Winn-Dixie by me so I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find them too. I found Quakers brand by the rice cake section. So maybe try there.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

I love Beanitos! All of the flavors are great! When I do have the urge or if I know I'm going to be somewhere where others are going to but pounding down regular chips, I take these.

For a salty treat, I like pretzels because I won't overeat them. For crackers, I look for whole grain lower calorie. I like the Special K crackers too.

      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.
