Best Snack Foods?

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.

Thanks! Great ideas.

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!
