Snack ideas

[steph82 6]

I'm 8 weeks post op and am on stage 4 (mechanical soft). I need ideas for Snacks in between meals. No nuts. I have babybel and yogurt. I'm looking for something with good Protein that I can throw in my lunch bag and not have any prep to eat it (I'm a teacher so want something quick and easy I can eat in 5 mins during passing period.) I'd love to hear what you suggest! Thanks!

Here is a page with some great suggestions for purees/soft foods. I hear the ricotta bake is wonderful!

I guess every plan has it's inherent differences.

I was told to avoid Snacks up until I went in for my 6 month appointment. At this time the surgeon said I could add Snacks of crunchy vegetables.

Prior to then it was simply the three meals per day. Since there was no hunger (for me, at least. I know some experience what they perceive as hunger) it was no longer about eating for satisfaction, simply for nourishment. Snacks really weren't desired as it maintained food focus in between meals.

I have seen that link and couldn't eat most of the foods on it because of the high sodium content. I was unable to digest the Beans, pea Soup, and any lagunes. I say try everything to see what works for you.

What about Mozzarella String cheese (individually wrapped ones), colby jack cheese sticks, or hard boiled eggs?

I'm past 90 days since my surgery and almost lost a 100 lbs myself use the P3 Protein packs from Hormel as Meal Replacements or a snack ( chic, turkey, or ham with a cheese or fruit or nut) comes in the pack! I actually used them in Disney a couple of weeks ago! Don't know if this helps BC everyone is different!
