What are your favorite WLS friendly grab and go foods

[Rosie T 72]

I'm looking for people's recommendations of their favorite ready-to-eat foods they've found post surgery that are friendly for your new lifestyle.

For instance, I just saw an ad for a brand of frozen pizzas, enchiladas, and Breakfast sandwiches called RealGood that have 25G Protein and 4G carbs per serving and I thought that looked great.

I read somewhere on another forum but forgot to write it down some special cracker that a lot of people like, etc.

I'm not really seeking recipes (because I'm super comfy with cooking). I'm more looking for ideas for quick grab and go type things that don't require cooking (other than microwaving maybe?)

Anybody got a favorite they'd care to share?

I really like boiled eggs and I seemed to be able to find them premade everywhere now. And they are now pairing them with cheese and fruit in tiny platters.

Thanks! I've seen those too. One I recently saw had chocolate coated almonds, cheese, and an egg. Good idea!

Pretty much "ANY" Kay's Natural's Protein Snacks.

I'm addicted to Moon Cheese (dehydrated cheese) right now. My grocery store had more flavors but costco has 10 oz. bags of the cheddar. Sooooo good.

Moon Cheese is awesome!
Check out "Just the Cheese" and "Wisps" also.

P3 Protein packs made by Kraft are my go to grab n go. Ranges from 13 - 20 g protein. Has meat, cheese and nuts and they are 2 oz - 3.2 oz in size. I can grab one, throw it in my purse and I am good to go!

I LOVE Whisps. I don't think I've tried Just the cheese, I'll be on the lookout for it. Thanks!

I recently tried RawRev Glo - Creamy Peanut Butter and sea salt Protein / Fiber Bars (15g protein / 14g Fiber, 2g Sugar, 3 Net Carbs) - It's super filling and compact, easy to keep in bags, etc.

Mozzarella cheese sticks - 60cal - 7gr protein

Tender Beef Jerky in 0.625 oz bags, again small and compact easy to keep in bags

single serve Cottage cheese - I've become a huge fan of cottage cheese since WLS

Matt Z mentioned Kay's protein Snacks, they are pretty awesome and easy to use for 2 snacks if needed.

I also make hard boiled eggs to travel with to work each week, I have an egg maker which takes roughly 12min total, no hassle, perfect cooking every time and then easy to travel with.

I like the pre-packed hard boiled eggs that have been mentioned before, as well as the P3 things also mentioned. My local stores also sell little packs with cheese, grapes, and almonds which I really love. And Quickchek (a convenience store in NJ) sells Quest Protein chips so I always grab one if I need something and there are no other options.
