Post gastric sleeve snack ideas to take to work



Recommended Posts

I love quiche! Not a bad idea. Just a little would be all that i need


I make them in muffin tins and sometimes make a bacon crust. So good and tons of flavor combinations.

Do you cook the bacon crust first? How do you get it crisp?

I do Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, sandwich meat wrapped in cheese, I make these egg soufflés one egg spinach and cheese, hummus snack boxes, cashews, edamame and my protein

These sound like much healthier options than some of the others listed!

I'm having surgery in a few days so I'm taking note. 😊

For those unable to have cheese/quiche, although lots of great options mentioned here, anyone have favorite ideas for occasional "dry" items (cracker, etc.)? I see the thin bread with tuna. Thanks!

I make little snack baggies of walnuts and dried cranberries or some other dried fruit that doesn't have added sugar. I do 1 ounce walnuts to .5 ounce dried fruit. I have to have a little carbs in my day, hence the dried fruit.

The cheese sticks are great with an ounce of turkey wrapped around it and they fit nicely in the little snack baggies as well.

I make "chicken fingers" .... pure Protein and easy .

1 can of chicken

1 cup shredded cheese

1 egg

( I add 1/2 tsp.each onion & garlic powder )

Squeeze all the Water out of a can of chicken and shred with a fork. Add shredded cheddar cheese and one egg. Mix and shape into fish stick size pieces. Bake on parchment paper at 400 for 20 minutes. Dip into sugar free ranch dressing. I keep a container in the fridge and eat as I want :)

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
