What is in YOUR "SnackBag"?



Recommended Posts

Newest news on Snacks (for me, anyways!): "Just the Cheese" crunchy baked Wisconsin cheese. 1/2 ounce bag, contains 99 percent cheese. Nutrients: fat: 6.5g, carbs: 1g (YES! ONE!!!), protein: 5g!!!!!!!!! OH! And only 75 calories!

I found them on Amazon.com, package of 16 bags, $18.24. Classic White Cheddar flavor. I thought they were very good, on the order of Parmesan crisps. They are round little nuggets of cheese that have been baked. A new find for the snack bag!

Ostrim, soft Jerky, cheese sticks, macadamia nuts ( I know they are high fat, I count the little #$%&%s), pistachios, Peanut Butter packets. And ginger slices cause sometimes I get really nauseated.

I pretty much follow the same plan! I can still only eat about 2 or 2.5 ounces at a time... I have my 3 "meals" and a snack in between in each, so I basically eat 5 small meals a day. It is the only way I can get my calories and Protein in.

I keep cheese sticks, boiled eggs, and Fat-free cottage cheese in my mini-fridge at work. I buy 1 thick slice each of smoked Turkey Breast and chicken Breast from the deli and cube it, then portion 2oz into Ziplock snack bags. I also love beef Jerky.

Belvita Breakfast biscuits, turkey Jerky, Wheat Thins with Peanut Butter or some light cream cheese, celery or sliced apple. Sometimes one if those little tuna packs that comes with tuna, crackers and mayo. Aldo, if you like nuts but want something a little different, try Somersaults ! Crunchy baked sunflower seed nuggets, so good ! Google them for nutrition info and where to find them. (Im having some right now !)

Beef Jerky, Protein bars, string cheese wrapped with prosciutto or salami ( I found them at Winn Dixie), and almonds. I also put tons of ice in my cup, so after I drink I can eat the ice. It helps!

Love my beef jerky!!! Simms brand from Aldi's. Also, cheese sticks, low fat, small curd cottage cheese, boiled eggs, nuts-mostly cashews, my own pre-made unjury Protein shake, Peanut Butter, Fit & Active Protein Bar (chocolate peanut butter) from Aldi's, and sometimes fresh fruit. Just got some fresh picked strawberries from a farm in Chesnee, SC, that are amazing!!!! Since my new tummy doesn't hold much, I can't over do it with the fruit; still mainly Protein for Snacks (only way I can meet daily protein goal).

I "snack" almost all day and still have a hard time reaching 800 calories.

Ostrim sticks or lamb Jerky, prosciutto wrapped skim milk mozzarella, pieces of lunch meat, cheese of all kinds.

Pork skins are my big cheat but they have a lot of Protein so they are still ok.

Hard boiled eggs, Protein Bars, most raw veggies and a lot of fruits are still things I can't tolerate. I concentrate on Protein. Very very rarely have even a bite of bread or Pasta and even more rarely anything containing sugar.

I'll have to check these out. I like to keep a variety of things at work to avoid the pitfalls that live around here. Thanks for the suggestion!

I consider that hard boiled egg your 'snack bag'. Just cuz it fits in a snack bag doesn't mean your snacking all the time. I use and prepare in advance small amounts of food in a snack bag as well. Often what is in that snack bag is my meal. I favor mixed nuts, different varieties, or crumbled cheese. I plan on roasting some chick peas this weekend - 8 grams Protein per 1/4 c. which is more than almonds. I travel around to different locations for my work and keep a cooler full of Water bottles, diet lipton green tea, a prepared bottle of Premier Protein and small (measured) mounts of food. Greek yogurt, also with either almonds or high Protein mixed granola in a snack bag to mix in.

      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.
