Recommended Posts

Hi all...

I have been trying to get some ideas on things to have as Snacks as i have noticed my appetite is starting to increase now that i am further out.

I have found the following website that has some good high Protein Snacks.< /p>

What is your high Protein snack?

I am sick of the following:

String cheese

Deli meat

nuts & seeds

Some creative low cal ideas would be great!

Mmmm some of these are good.. i like the frozen yoghurt berries... what a great idea for when you crave something sweet.

I probably wouldn't do these recipes in a large volume, but one small serving would help satisfy cravings down the line

I love edamame! I stir fry lightly with chilli and garlic.. totally yum

I do buy cherry tomatoes and have them with sliced cucumber and philly cheese.

I haven't tried curried egg on crackers before, might have to give that a try.

I was thinking i would make some Protein balls on the weekend to keep in my drawer at work, i need some more "desk snacks" for when i am busy and haven't prepared anything suitable.

Those chickpeas sound great! I usually have them plain, might try them that way, they look yum

I use Cruskits with cream and cottage cheese, sometimes add smoked or tinned salmon to them as well.

They keep me going for hours.

If I have to go somewhere, I have a tiny esky, I put the cheese/salmon mix in it and few Cruskits, plus knife to spread it.

Keeps fresh for hours.

I'm not a big fan of beef Jerky but heaven sent down bacon jerky.. I don't have it often but oh dear

My biggest go to snack is cheese sticks. I tend to go with the sharp cheddar or pepper jack. The sargento snack bites are amazing

      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.
