    Be careful on some of those yogurts, they can be very high in sugar. I buy carbmaster from Ralph's and top with some fruit and a little bit of granola. They come in flavors too, but I don't know h

    Hey now! That's a great idea! I love HB eggs but they can get dull day after day. I'm going to the grocery store today and I am making these for tomorrow!

  • I snack on smoked salmon and light cream cheese, no crackers. The salmon flakes easily and doesn't get stuck, I just smear some cream cheese on it and YUMMMM! I also like the small flavored cheese wed

Thanks! :) Greek yogurt makes me gag and cottage cheese makes me vomit. How can u make cottage cheese taste better? Your suggestions help a lot.

there is a light yogurt that is only 60 calories - banana cream pie flavored - have to look at calories of light yogurts some are much higher than others

string cheese - light 50 calories - i think it's sargento's - a fair amount of food that settles hunger for 50 calories.

Wow! Ok that sounds good

Plain Greek yogurt is like eating sour cream! 1) 2 % Greek Yogurt is not as sour as the 0%, 2) For a snack I would add splendra which helps a lot. Also choose one with fruit it in that helps a lot. It dissolves so you don't get a grittiness (which I got with Truvia).

For Breakfast I have Chobani Greek yogurt (with fruit), non flavored benefiber, 1/2 scoop whey isolate vanilla Protein powder, and splendra. Mix well. I then add 1/4 cup high protein Kashi Go Lean.

I am a fit of a Chobani flavor snob: my favorites Cherry, Apple Cinnamon, Raspberry, Pinapple, Peach.

Yoplait light is 110 calories and they have a thousand flavors and they r actually really good. Some of my favs are Boston creme pie. Only thing is if it is fruit flavored (ie. strawberry shortcake) it will have fruit in it. But they have lots of flavors that don't. They have lemon pie as well and orange creme is amazing!

I've had all the light yogurts that I enjoy. It's just become boring and I need to mix it up a bit. Thank you for your suggestions :)

They are awesome indeed! :)

Yogurt of any kind makes me gag! I put hot sauce or salsa on cottage cheese but it seems most people prefer a fruit thing. I also sometimes eat those new Bel Vita breakfast cookies...they have a few grams of protein and are good to have in my purse.Lots of nuts and those little rectangles of cheese.

Oh I do use the plain greek yogurt on my refried beans as sour cream...

I try to keep Snacks in my purse all the time that have Protein and Fiber in them, in case I am on the run and get hungry. South Beach has a great new snack bar - 100 cal, 6 protein, 6 fiber and comes in chocolate Almond and Peanut Butter flavor. I buy those at my Walmart and they are usually in the Pharmacy/protein bar area. Walmart also has a new "house" brand of protein meal bars that are actually decent. The almonds are great... I just have trouble eating the right portions. I just bought some 100 calorie packs of natural almonds, and some Bumble Bee tuna salad ready-to-eat kits (150 cal., 9 protein) to keep in my stash.

I find the further I get along in this journey, the more important it is to always have good choices readily available. It keeps me from getting really hungry and making those not-so-good choices!

Good luck!

They come in flavors too, but I don't know how they taste. It is a better option than greek yogurt and not as unhealthy as regular yogurt. Only 3 grams of sugar in the vanilla flavor.

just got my band Feb 9, ordered some Snacks from Bariatric Advantage. Tried the first today,each has 10 grams of Protein honey mustard crackers yum.They have quite a few flavor options.
