Pork rinds??? I can honestly say I never would have thought of that! I always thought of them as junk food because of the high fat content. Have you found them to be a quality source of Protein?

I've included a picture of the nutritional facts of Pork rinds & the link to the Parmesan crips nutritional facts. Considering you can't eat much its not too bad for either....in my opinion.....

These are a bit expensive, but they're really good and low carb:

I have found Parmesan cheese crisps. They are delicious, crunchy and made totally of cheese. They are 80 cal, 6 grams of Protein in 1 serving (3 good sized crackers. I love them with tuna salad. I think they sell them at whole foods but I buy them online. They are made by "kitchen table bakers", I think is the name

Found these same Parmesan crisps on netrition.com for $4.99 a bag! There's a $4.95 flat shipping rate, which is worth it if you buy anything else off the website.

No issues eating pork rinds here but I had a cast Iron stomach before surgery & apparently a mini version now. I haven't thrown up once or been Nauseous at all through this whole ordeal. We also use Romain lettuce or collard green leaves to put taco meat, chicken salads, basically replacing tortillas. Pork rinds are $1.25 a bag at your local grocery store or gas station vs $4.95 + shipping for the Parmesan crisps.

Hubby and I did an experiment with a cracker and a pc of melba ttoast (toast is on. My soft food diet, crackers r specificallt not allowed) we put them inn a glass of Water and waited a coupe hrs. The cracker was about 3x the size while the melba toast didn't change at all.

That's all it took to convince me not to eat crackers. And melba toast is actually tasty. I use them to dip into my egg yolks, crumble in chili, and put tuna salad on

I tried a different recipe a few weeks ago. It was a bake in the oven type recipe. My attempt was a total flop. I followed the directions closely. However, my outcome was crisps, it was little piles of hot watery, greasy liquid :-(

I buy them from netrition. Just got in 6 containers of them. Their shelf life is like a year from now. As far as lactose issues, I cannot drink any milk based shakes anymore. But I don't seem to have a problem with these or other cheese

At the preop class i went to the NUT stated that we could have saltines on the pureed stage but only like 1 broken into smaller peices as a vehical but she stated very emphatically that there must be more tuna or chicken than cracker. She just said that sometimes people like the crunch and by this point are in need of some. But with always the reminder... Protein first.

I found the parmesan cheese crisps by Kitchen Table Bakers at Wal-Mart in the deli foods section. Before that I had been buying some very expensive ones out of town at Whole Foods.

      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.
