Snack Ideas--help!!!



Recommended Posts

My nutritionist gave me a few ideas, but I am now bored w/ them. The doctor says 6 meals a day----I need meals I can grab out of a bag or quickly make. I have a job that busy w/ patients all day. I want to keep my meals going to feed my metabolism, but I find it hard at times. I will take any suggestions!! Thanks,

My all time favorite snack: Quaker Soy Crisps BBQ or White Chedder

18 crisps per serving/ 110 calories/ 0 fat/ 15 carbs/ 2 fiber/ 4 sugar/

6 protein

I'm fairly restricted right now so eating 18 crisps in one sitting is possible but I take it slow.

They are yummy and satisfy my need for crunch!

For a fast snack I usually choose Peanut Butter...with banana, wasa crackers, apples, or just by the spoonfull!

I also like to have 1/2 of an avocado, sprinkled w/ salt....just spoon it out! So good and cheap this time of year! Very good for you, too.

2 slices of canadian bacon with a slice of low fat cheddar in between (I love Cabot light cheddar)...and eaten like a little sandwich!

Hope that helps.

light mozzarella string cheese...I also love the soy crisp but creamy ranch is my favorite...they are so good. The turkey pepperoni is good too. My nutritionist told me the Protein in Peanut Butter is not enough to overcome the amount of fat in it. She told me not to eat it.

Refried Beans, hummus, there are quite a few Snacks out there, you might do a google search for low fat low calorie snacks...Deanna

String cheese is an excellent one for me. yogurt works, I know that is so diet cliche but I have more restriction with regular yogurt than I do with meat sometimes. I also like to take my fave lunch meat from the deli sliced deli thin, ( i really like roast beef, ham/fat free turkey) and put about a half a tablespoon of philly cream cheese on it and maybe a green onion and roll it into a little roll and two of those will really make me full and they are very tasty. I just make a 4-6 the night before and they are awesome just to grab and eat at a moment's notice.

        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!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
