I really miss the crunch of foods' date=' ie like potato chips or tortilla chips. I'm looking for something that will satisfy my need to crunch. It's kind of like having the munches with no idea what to munch...any suggestions?[/quote']

If you like edamame try these but when you are on puree, chew, chew, chew 1/4 of the bag was sufficient for me. I got them at Amazon. Also you can get turkey pepperoni 17 slices = 70 calories I can do 5 only put on a plate for one minute let cool and for added Protein you can do a light laughing cow wedge 35 calories.

Look in the baby food isle of the supermarket!!! Gerber graduates have these things that look like cheese doodles and are very yummy. They crunch but melt in your mouth so its ok if youre on puree. they have different flavors. They also have wheels that come in flavors like maple and apple cinnamon. Beechnut have something similar as well... but they come in little packets. They are veggie flavored "fries" and they are yummy. :) Just remember not to pig out on em lol

Try Glenny's Low Fat Soy Crisps. I bought a case from Amazon. A serving has 70 calories, 1 gm. fat and 5 gms. of Protein. Love them!

I have tried these to from gerber roasted vegetable19=35 calories and they satisfy the crunch as well, the only bad thing is they have no nutritional value :(

Yeah I have always loved them, but these are freeze dried and are great for the puree stage!

Ok so I sent my nurse person out to the fresh market and she picked me up some kale. I broke pieces of the stalk separating at the vein, tossed in olive oil and sprinkled with sea salt. Bakes at 275 and turned half way, they were delicious. A lite tasty crispy treat =]

On mybariatricpantry.com they have Protein Bites. The ranch ones were good. The taco ones were weird but addicting.

I was told to be careful about cracker chips, pretzels, etc. as they are a "slider" food and don't give you that full feeling. I'm 6 months out and just now have tried Pork rinds. I absolutely loved them. I ate a couple with a meal though. Somehow I have managed to not snack inbetween meals.

      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.
