What are your favorite snacks?



Recommended Posts

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!

I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you talking about a pre-surgery safe snack, post surgery, or maintenance?

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

cheese stick, almonds, sliced apples ( no skin after surgery)... Give Fayeh Greek yogurt a try, very thick and creamy, much less sugar than most other yogurt...

a lot of days I have 1 ounce almonds (with skins on) with 1 ounce of dried tart cherries and a few chocolate chips. mmmm so filling.

I also love the Power Crunch bars - triple chocolate is my fav.

this afternoon I have half a cup of cottage cheese and about 1/3 an apple sliced.

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.

I make Protein balls for a sweet treat - 1 cup natural Peanut Butter w/honey, two scoops chocolate protein power and a few mini chocolate chips sprinkled in. Roll into balls and freeze.

sounds good - I'll have to try this after surgery - I'm in the liquid pre-op now... 1st day - so far so good.

That right there may make me actually eat a deviled egg. Thanks for sharing.

      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.
