Dried edamame and freeze dried crunchamame. Both are surprisingly high Protein and tasty.

My plan has saltines on it when you hit pureed. After pureed your free to resume whatever you can tolerate.

Kale chips? Edamame? Wasabi peas? Sea weed chips? Those are pretty good options if you read labels & chose wisely.

Hope this helps.

allons-y

I was allowed stacy's pita chips. So I would eat about 3 of them with a low fat cheese stick. Probably not as healthy as some of the things listed above but it's my fave!

I read that someone recommended Beanitos... Looked like a mostly bean based tortilla chip. I actually saw them at Rite Aid of all places! Sounds pretty good/healthy though for those of us who need crunch... Definitely going to try the dry roasted edamame though!

Really?? I wish it'd known this before I gave away boxes and boxes of this stuff before surgery. I used to LOVE them.

This is not quite as healthy as other above suggestions but if you are just looking for a good crunchy snack there are a bunch of 100 calorie popcorn bags. I am three months out and can only eat about half a bag at a time. It is the only time i really feel like i am getting a whole lot of of crunchy goodness without feeling too guilty afterward

Special K has a high Protein Cereal 10g. for 3/4c. I measure it out and put it in a little baggie. Crunchy and protein :) Although I can't finish all of it at once :)

      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.
