I like Veggie Straws. They taste like potato chips. A few of those and I'm full again. I dip them in Greek yogurt...yum! Very easily digestible. They melt in ur mouth.

Oh and I'm currently obsessed with edamame (salted soy beans). I steam them at night and eat them cold the next day at work. Most frozen let u control the salt amount, so I put just a little to none! Can't get enough! I like them hot or cold!

Not sure of your plan, carb or calories...but.....Almonds, apple slices with Peanut Butter, baby carrots, cucumbers or celery dunked in low fat ranch dressing, half of a Protein bar or Atkins Indulge bar.

I hope this helps......sorry to see from your username that you are an unhappy sleever, I hope that improves for you.

I buy them at Walmart or HEB. They are usually by the rice cakes section. They are pretty good!

My dietician tells us that Snacks outside of the 3 meals should be a scoop of Protein powder. That said, if I stick to this then I don't get snacky. If I am not able to do that then my list in order is as follows...

1. Protein Powder

2. Quest Protein Bar

3. Nuts and cheese

4. Pretzels(4 max) and Peanut Butter or apple n pb.

5. Sliced strawberries n grapes

I am starting to get tired on my Snacks, really only have bananas or dried fruits with nuts sometimes stringy cheese, what are other people snacking on during the day - all ideas would be most helpful.....

Goodness, high carb Snacks like bananas and dried fruit are not doing you any favors. Stick with low carb, high Protein snacks to maximize your weightloss. It will make a big difference. I also eat high fat along with low carb, but that is a whole other topic.

Depending on where you are in your food stages:

  • Jerky
  • cottage cheese
  • ricotta cheese, plain or with sugar free flavored Syrup (Torani), chocolate, vanilla, caramel, etc.
  • Hard boiled egg
  • cheese sticks
  • greek yogurt (sugar free)
  • Peanut Butter / almond butter
  • cherry tomatoes
  • nuts (no honey roasted or any with sugar)
  • a glass of whole milk
  • Atkins Endulge chocolate candy (2 net carbs)
  • Saffron Road Falafel flavored dried chickpeas (World Market or online)
  • Dried edamame (snack packs available) World Market or online
  • Fresh steamed edamame
  • Dried seaweed
  • Protein chips (online) not my favorite but some people like them
  • Laughing Cow or mini Bonbel cheeses (individually wrapped)
  • Individually wrapped Brie Cheese (Trader Joe's)
  • Chick-fil-a 4 pack of grilled chicken nuggets (chunks of grilled chicken breast)
  • Chick-fil-a Diet Lemonade
  • Starbucks Skinny Mocha - Tall size (110 calories, 11 grams protein)
  • Olives
  • Pickles (not sweet)
  • Roasted red bell peppers
  • Roasted red bell pepper spread with cream cheese and rolled up and secured with a toothpick :)
  • beef sticks
  • salami and cheese slices
  • hummus
  • Greek yogurt dip (yogurt with seasoning mix, garlic, salt and pepper, etc.)
  • Sour cream and green chile dip (sour cream with chopped green chiles (canned or fresh)
  • Dippers (instead of chips): celery sticks, Belgian Endive (makes a nice scoop), carrot sticks, snap peas, cucumber slices, jicama sticks
  • Quesadilla (half of one slice of Flat Out low carb bread, 1 oz cheddar cheese, pickled jalapenos or salsa (optional). Cook in a pan or microwave. Spread filling on one half and fold over.
  • pizza (half of one slice of Flat Out low carb bread, 1 spoonful of Tomato sauce or alfredo sauce for white pizza, 1 oz. mozzarella cheese, optional topping: 1 oz. of pepperoni, olives, mushrooms, Italian sausage, etc.). Spread sauce on the bread, then cheese, then topping. Broil for a few minutes until bubbly. Sprinkle with Italian Herbs and Parmesan cheese if desired. You can also roll this up after you broil it to make a little pizza handroll that is easy to take with you.

I love the eggface blog site and they're are so many recipes there, you can't run out of things to eat. I tried one of the Snacks today and made parmesan crisps stained with a little Rosemarie. They are good and have Protein and that's what in eating now. I also like a snack or meal of a piece of lunch meat wrapped around a small bit of cheese or avacado.

Depends where you are in your journey, but I like lemon sugar free pudding with unflavored Injury Protein Powder, popsicles..sugar free of course, yogurt...love Dannon Light and Fit, even have it in Key Lime and Raspberry chocolate flavors, string cheese, rolled up turkey luncheon meat slice. I'm always looking for ways to get in my Protein. If you are 8 weeks out or more, I can't wait to have Power Crunch Mint Chocolate bars and FIT raspberry brownie bars. You can find those at the Vitamin Shoppe.< /p>

      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.
