Looking for snack foods? My work schedule is crazy and need some ideas for Snacks. I'm 6 wks post-op rny, and I'm tired of cheese and yogurt. Suggestions???..???

I snack on cottage cheese, luna bars, the Kay's Natural brand veggie pizza puffs, almond honey cookie bites, crispy parmesean crackers, sugar free Jell-O, shredded beef Jerky, sugar free popsicles, and sugar free pudding. It helps that my supervisor understands what I had done, and lets me eat those foods when I am not technically on break or on lunch. Good luck with your search for snack foods. ( I am 7 weeks post-op RNY)

My favorite snack lately is half of an apple with some Peanut Butter on it. I also like popcorn with melted cheese on top, almond nut thins dipped in hummus, string cheese, sautéed veggies with soy sauce, turkey and cheese wraps with spicy mustard, olives, pickles, and crackers with turkey pepperoni and cheese. I can't say I snack a ton, but these would be my choices when I do...

My mid morning snack is either carrots or apple slices (sometimes dipped in Greek yogurt). The hard dense foods stay with me longer so I'm not starving at lunchtime and eat like a piggy.

I stay away from carbs - occasional wine excepted. High Protein yoghurt (Chobani) or a small handful of nuts (pref almonds but I take what I can find) are what I use. Carbs of any type make me hungry more quickly and will also trigger an insulin response, and insulin builds fat reserves rather than burns them. My understanding is that these surgeries all perform better for us on a low carb diet.

I made cheese crisps today yum! Low fat cheese. Small piles on the griddle on high. Melt then harden. Crunch and Protein. Yum!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
