Why not try a cold boiled egg? Maybe a little Pate on a light rice cracker or something like that. Maybe a little high in fat but a good quality chicken liver Pate will have some Iron in it too. Hommus/Hummus is a good source of vegetable Protein from chickpeas and is really nice on a carrott or celery stick...great recipes to be found online for this. How about Tofu?

Not the most perfect suggestions but might do for a little variety once in a while.

Congratulations on your progress!!!!!

Not sure how far out you are but my go to Snacks are Quest bars, mixed nuts, or Ostrim sticks (protein packed slim jim).

I also like the Ostrim Jerkee (60 Calories, 1g sugar, 10g protein) and the Ostrim Sticks as well (80 calories, 1g sugar, 14g protein).....Sodium is a little high...........so it's not a daily item....have to look at each flavor as I think there's one that has higher sugar

Thanks just ordered the Ostrim I had never heard of them before although I had ostrich meat in Aruba and enjoyed it. I love this site.

I eat one Atkins Protein bar each day. They are sugar-free and protein-packed. My fav is the Chocolate-oatmeal Fiber bar, since in addition to Protein, I am on a continual Quest for Fiber. 6 grams of protein, 10 of fiber.

Also try 0% fat, plain Greek yogurt with a tsp of no sugar fruit preserves and Splenda.

Sorry my answer may read like a run on sentence, for some reason my enter button doesn't work here but: egg whites, shrimp (I buy them frozen from Wal Mart in bags and divvy out 12 a day for my PM snack), cottage cheese, greek yogurt, bacon (I prefer turkey bacon), beef Jerky, Pork rinds and almonds. Hope that helps you some what!!!

I like the pure Protein Bars, The EAS Advantage Carb Control Protein Drinks only have 100 calories and 17 grams of Protein and taste great. Light and lively Greek yogurt is really good too and turkey or beef Jerky. I find all of these to be a good snack for protein.

Duh I forgot Protein drinks. How'd I forget that? Our "staple"! :) (I do pure protein or premier but that's a personal preference.) I'm going to have to look up those EAS carb control drinks. (How many ozs are they?) Any flavor that you would suggest?

Was wondering why the labels on pork rinds say not a significant source of Protein when there's 8-9 grms listed??

I drink rockin refuel Recovery milk drink. By shamrock farms. Lactose free. 30 grm Protein. 190cal. 6 gr sugar. 12 carbs. Best of all priced 1 dollar each. Oh. 12 oz bottles. chocolate. They have van and choc in 20 protein also but these have more sugar snd calories. So I stick with the 30 gm protein ones

I just made cumin & lime zest pumpkin seeds! I also love roasted acorn squash seeds roasted with parmesan cheese. Also a big fan of almonds. Check out Sahale nut mixes. Awesome flavors, great crunch.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
