I'm a huge fan of all greek yogurt. I try to watch the sugar and fat content. My fave is plain or vanilla yogurt mixed with fresh or frozen fruits. I have the Chobani Apple and Cinnamon fat free for desert often. I also discovered the Yoplait Greek 100 calorie greek yogurts. They're lower calories and have less sugar than Chobani and taste pretty darn good.

Beef Jerky is also a snack I enjoy often. My personal fave is Perky Jerky.

​Anyone have any snack ideas also for someone who is 3 weeks out (still on pureed) too? I am so done with yogurts, applesauce and Protein shakes :(. I can't wait until I am able to snack on those things when I'm 6 months out.

When I want a little something I have a wedge of 35 calorie cheese on a couple of lo fat crackers. It's only around 100 cals and quite filling.

This is gonna sound strange, I admit it.

I plan my food, and do not snack unless on the plan (I am an addict).

When I get a craving, I drink Water. Helps me feel full for a little while!

Sometimes if I have a higher calorie day and feel like having something in the the evening I have a low sugar hot cocoa made with Water. It is about 25 calories and satisfies that sweet craving. Also sipping something hot takes awhile and can curb your appetite.

Have you tried Dannon Light and Fit Greek yogurt? Great flavors (my favorite is pineapple) and only 80 calories.

My favorite snack is carrot chips and Protein dip. Carrot chips are carrots sliced like crinkle cut potato chips, I find them next to the baby carrots in my produce dept. I make protein dip by mixing a container of low fat cottage cheese, my favorite dip mix (ranch, French onion, etc) and a little bit of milk or sour cream all in the food processor until smooth.

How is the beef Jerky on your sleeve? It sounds great but I am worried I might not tolerate it.

7 weeks out; no problems with Jerky. I carry a package of turkey jerky in my car for emergency meals!

Pacific Gold Teriyaki Turkey Jerky (Costco), Old Wisconsin Turkey Sausage Bites (Walmart), almonds are my favorite but almost all nuts are healthy (watch the portion size - they are high in calories), yogurt, cottage cheese, Decaf coffee, fresh cauliflower, broccoli and/or carrots (love the idea above for making your own dip from cottage cheese!), just about any kind of fruit (have to be a little careful with the sugar - I dumped once on red grapes), cantaloupe, honeydew melon, pineapple, Quaker Popped Rice Cakes (they come in sweet and savory flavors) - Snacks do not have to be synonymous with unhealthy!

      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.
