hernewselfie 43 Posted May 26, 2016 I have two nutrition visits left before surgery but am struggling to get the last snack in. What are some of your favorites? I would love some ideas. Thanks! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigViffer 3,544 Posted May 26, 2016 I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you talking about a pre-surgery safe snack, post surgery, or maintenance? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hernewselfie 43 Posted May 26, 2016 I'm sorry, I'm focused on pre surgery right now but also kind of post surgery after a couple months. At least 10g Protein and less than 10g sugar/fat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

goblue9280 481 Posted May 26, 2016 One of my go to Snacks (actually it was a meal for the first few months post-op) was deviled eggs... but made using hummus rather than mayo and oil. I was lazy, and would buy the pre-boiled eggs in the bag from the grocery store. One egg split in half... mix the yolk with a tablespoon or so of hummus and some salt and pepper (I also added hot sauce.) Sometimes I would feel full after one egg half.
