Vet pals, I need new snack ideas!



Recommended Posts

I am very big on Harvarti cheese. I am sure it's pretty fattening, but I have at least one slice a day , and my other go to snack is 100 calorie packs of cocoa dusted almonds. I love those.

I love havarti too! I found a light one at a market near me, so I've stuck to that.

As for other Snacks, I've been looking for ideas too, but I'm big on cheese lol. So when it's not havarti, it's a light babybel.

If you are not counting fat as much, 6 salted macadamias is a very satisfying snack.

Beef Jerky is good. Or turkey Jerky.

Baby bels or string cheese or laughing cow wedges. I like the laughing cow with carrot sticks or bell pepper slices or celery but some people say celery is a bad idea post-op.

lunch meat and cheese roll-ups.

You can make Protein balls. Eggface has recipes on her blog.

Those snack packs of applesauce and the individual packs of Peanut Butter.

Snack packs of cottage cheese.

A short skinny latte from starbucks. If you like milk, then a carton of skim milk.

I have actually cut out my morning snack because I was just eating it to eat it, not because I was hungry.

I find sometimes a snack like a baby bel satisfies more than, say, almonds or a Protein Shake. The fat from the cheese triggers satiety in the brain. I am not supposed to be eating cheese on my paleo diet, but I do appreciate actually turning off the need or desire to keep eating after already eating a Protein or low carb snack by eating just one baby bel. Quite strange.

Hummus. Love the supremely spicy.

Part of a Quest bar.

Dill pickles. Plain or with a piece of lunch meat wrapped around it.

Turkey pepperoni "chips"

Mound a small handful of shredded cheese and bake at 350 until melted and brown. Renders some fat and tastes amazing.

Those are my favorites...

I love cheese chips. Microwave a slice of cheese until it's lacy and crisp. You got most of the fat off and a yummy satisfyingly crunchy treat that sticks with you.

Okay, I've seen others mention this too. WHAT kind of cheese is this? Oh yes the almonds! I HAVE to buy in 100 cal pouches and refrain myself!!!!

I TOTALLY agree with this. I've found in last few weeks that's mini babybel will stem hunger better than other things for me too

      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.
