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.

      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.
