You could try the puffed rice cakes. I don't have a problem with them going through the band, and that's a whole lot of crunch for 45 calories... Yes, I've finally reached the point where one rice cake fills me up!

I have started going to an Arthritis swim class. Swimming has always given me the munchies, so I am taking a granola or Protein Bar with me to eat on the way home. And of course my Water.< /p>

String cheese is a good snack. BBQ soy crisps are too, but you have to be careful.They are so good. I think you can have 20 for a

100 calories. They have Protein in them too. They almost taste like

BBQ potato chips.< /p>

The Quaker Granola Bites 100-calorie packs are yummy, and they are a pretty decent serving for a bandster.

Actually, they are 90 calories :biggrin1: And they are yummy good.. and I think the amount in the bag is a good amount for bandsters, they fill me up.

I snack on string cheese, but my favorite snack os to cut up a protien bar, and nuke it a bit. Yes, most you can. Tastes like a brownie!!

YUMMY YUMMY!

Boo Boo, what kind of Protein bars do you like? I mainly buy the Atkins ones because they are lower in carbs. I never thought about heating one.

One thing, when you are looking at Carb count, remember we actually NEED carbs! That is just me on my soap box..

BUT my favorite protien bars are Triple Threats bars. I love the carmel one. :) They are by Powerbar.

Ditto on the string cheese! I like the south beach Protein bars as well. I spend a lot of time in the car, so I look for Snacks too. I have been drinking the slim fast lowcarb/low sugar-3grams. The original slim fast has over 28gr sugar and a lot more calories. It's a quick way to get your Protein in.

I would stay away from the McD's yogurt things....there is a huge amount of sugar in them.!!!! My doctor tells us to limit the amount of sugar to 3gr. or less in a serving!

      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.
