Sometimes we run out of ideas for Snacks and meals. What are some of your favorite things to keep stocked up on?

I can't live without a few flavors of Moon Cheese and my Milk chocolate 1st Phorm Protein.

Cold deli meats in slices or chunks I can grab from the fridge. chicken, turkey, ham, corned beef etc. are my go-to Snacks.

I like cheeses too, there are usually several varieties in my fridge.

And greek yoghurt - you can add an infinite variety of nuts, seeds and fruit to that for Breakfast or supper.

Deli meat & cheese, rotisserie chicken, cottage cheese, grapes & berries, Flex Protein chips, and pistachios are ALWAYS on hand for quick Snacks or easy meals.

I also usually have some cooked chicken of some variety measured out in the freezer, along with an assortment of frozen or canned veggies. I can just throw those in the microwave with some butter or BBQ Sauce and BOOM a whole meal! I also try to freeze leftovers in one or two portion sizes so I can pull those out and have them for lunch a couple days a week.

And I always have Lily's chocolate in the fridge for a treat! 😉

Strawberries, cherries, grapes, guavas, watermelon, apples are my go to Snacks. Especially late night Snacks. My refrigerator is always packed with fresh fruits.

Recently, for guilty pleasures, I really like: That's it organic dark chocolate and banana truffles. (If they don't have those in stock, I get the Natierra organic chocolate banana slices. They are different though because they are crunchy.)

Also, I have been into airfried real sourdough San Francisco style bread(lots of fake sourdough out there that don't have health benefits like real sourdough does) with cheese on it. I have been eating a couple of slices every day for the past few months.

Also, greek yogurt dill pickle dip. Tons of easy and different recipe on the net. I make a week's worth and use it for a vegetable dip or eat with Korean popped rice crackers.

OHH I have a ton of favorite snacks! I'll start from my MOST favorite but they're all great

1: The Only Bean Crunchy Roasted Edamame Beans. DELICIOUS. Absolute favorite, it feels like I'm chomping on spicy roasted peanuts but without the extra carbs & fat. This Sriracha flavor is incredible. They also have bigger family sized bags but I loved these personal baggies. 117 & very filing. I tend to only eat half of a bag

2: Mini Quest Bars. I've been living off of these! They're small, w 8g of Protein & only 80cals. They're the perfect on-the-go snack. I always keep some in my bag & they're yummy.

3: Wicked Cutz Beef Jerky. I found these on the Celebrate Bariatric Vitamins website & they're delicious! 1oz is only 50cals. That's the lowest I've found so far. Better flavor than a lot of the more popular store brands PXL_20230103_225456177.thumb.jpg.022fb7af710eb14d9083413576e22331.jpg

4: Protein Puffs. I save these specifically for my "junk food" cravings. They're a tiny bit higher in cals than I'm used to but 15g fills up a small side bowl. I usually pair it with another protein like turkey slices. It makes me feel like I'm cheating a bit. Super yummy!

4: Fiber Gourmet crackers. I love pairing these with tuna or the famous tiktok 'sushi bake' instead of rice. I get about 15g (8 crackers) & it's usually about 34 Calories. This brands other crackers are also delicious, they're just stored away rn

5: Chomp Beef Sticks. These are delicious, 90cals & CLEAN. sugar free & the ingredients in these are great! Especially in comparison to others like Slim Jim's. I also keep these in my bag or chopped up in a Bento box when I don't have a way to measure 1oz of the other jerky. So good!

Apples. I'm obsessed with them and having a hard time accepting that Rockit apple season is a couple of months away yet. I like Envy and Bravo varieties too, but the little sweet crisp Rockit variety are the ones I buy by the huge bagful when they're available.

Otherwise it's other easy-grab fruit like seedless black grapes, lychees and cherries.

I also love rice crackers, including the "crispbread" ones, which I love with Nuttelex and Vegemite.

We have a local Chinese bakery that does the best red bean sesame balls and red bean mochi balls, which both my partner and I LOVE. Those are treats to have with a nice soy latte or mug of tea.

      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.
