steph82 6 Posted July 28, 2016 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! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dub 9,922 Posted July 28, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sondra2368 26 Posted July 28, 2016 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. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
