Post gastric sleeve snack ideas to take to work



Recommended Posts

I am getting ready to go back to work, and want to start planning on snack ideas to take with me.

i will be 5 weeks post op when I return to work, so would appreciate any and all snack ideas other than my Protein Drinks - don't get me wrong, I love the different Premier Protein and muscle milk flavors.... but just want something different. I would love to hear ALL Snacks, not just recent post op ones. Ideally these are just snacks, but if they are a little bigger that's fine too, as I can consolidate them to make it 1 or 2 snacks

Ive ordered small containers to hold snacks to get ready

some suggestions I've read are tuna in the foil packs, hummus, almonds, Greek yogurt, edamame.....

Wow. These are all great- I just overlooked them. String cheese and baby bell are already packaged- jerkey is too. Protein bars- goldfish.

For pre-op and post op I was in the shake/ ready to drink protein/purée/soft food mindset -never put much thought into Snacks.

i really appreciate everyone's input here

i also take low fat meats and wrap them with some provolone. Like a ham or roast beef or turckey rollup. one of those keeps me good for a couple hours.

      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.
