Great job! Keep it going

I was sleeved 9/25/17. Constipation hit me at week 2. Take milk of magnesia to empty yourself out.... and take 2 stool softeners a day... that's what I am doing now

About a week after surgery I was feeling strange- it was a weird dizzy feeling. I checked my BP at home and it was 90/53.... so I figured I needed water and salt to help raise it.... it helped a bit and I checked it later I. Day and was still in the 90/60 range. I was like this 2 days then called my Dr. he said to stop the BP pill. Did and a few days later without the pill I am at 115/70 ish. THE add said because I still can't drink all my liquids (I am 3 weeks out) I'm a bit dehydrated. HE said to increase my salt a bit and ensure I drink water So if you feel your BP is low post surgery and you are on meds... call your primary care dr and they will probably have you stop your meds

Bacon crust- even more protein- awesome! Have a recipe for the quiche you could share

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

I am not sure who make them but they are high Protein snack packs- usually include a meat, cheese and some sort of fruit - I've seen yogurt covered blueberries, dark chocolate covered things..... think of it as a Lunchable for protein.... the ones I've seen are about 15-18 G protein per pack. They are also a few bucks.... so if you make your own will definitely save some $$$

Fluffy: Yes. Any of the 5-6 meals is what I would consider a snack. introversion - those are great ideas- especially the pepperoni and turkey sausage stick/link! Dropwt4life awesome list- love the P3 copycat ideas- that will save so much money.!

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

Sullie06, what kind of snacks do you eat throughout the day?

.... I have Miralax on standby!

I am 3 weeks post op tomorrow. Was not able to do a BM until post op day 4. Pre-op was only shakes, so nothing was there. After that I only went every 2 days.... then....last week MAJOR Constipation hit I had to use an enema :-( my advice- take 2 stool softeners a day to prevent that. We are not eating enough protein to keep it going, and it's hard to drink water.... so take my advice and start stool softeners! I plan on doing that until I am on soft foods when I can hopefully eat more fiber

Ooh those sound great! Thank you

I am getting ready to go back to work, and want to start planning on snackideas 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.....
