Need Something Crunchy To Replace Chips?



Recommended Posts

My girlfriend takes the low carb tortillas and cuts them into chips with a pizza cutter and brushes them with olive oil and sprinkles garlic on them and bakes it in the oven on 350 for about ten minutes. They are really good. Each tortilla has like 6 net carbs and you can get about 10 chips from each tortilla so it's a good alternative.

WASA crackers are good too for the crunch.

I make kale chips and zuchinni chips in the oven. Just a little cooking spray and sea salt yum yum!!

Love kale chips!! And so much Vitamin A in them!

I find that baby dill pickles really satisfy my potato chip craving. Salty and crunchy. Sometimes I grab a few when dinner isn't for a while and need that little something to hold me over.

I love the baby fills too! They do satisfy!

In a couple of his low-carb cookbooks, George Stella has recipes for crunchy Snacks. My favorite is what he calls "Goldfish". It's American or similar sliced cheese cut into 16 pieces, sprinkled with seasoning (I like Montreal steak seasoning) and baked at 400 for 7 minutes. When they first ome out of the over there is no crunch, but after they cool, they are very satisfying.

Pork rinds are good, too. Protein but no carbs.

But my favorite crunch is pickled okra. I'm not fond of other okra, but I love the pickles. They are hard to get locally, so I buy a case at a time from Amazon.< /p>

I like Special K multi grain crackers for crackers. I get banana chips from Walgreens, pineapple chips from Walmart, almonds and add Quacker Oat Squares dry Cereal for my own trail mix. I like the veggie straws too!

I also do popcorn, but I do the 100 calorie bag I also do the special k chips , only a few at a time I found out unfortunally I can no longer do cucumbers or pickles I don't know what happened but my band says no more , also I loved celery & peanutbutter but I can no longer do celery either , so I have to put peanutbutter on apple slices only a few tho and I have to peel the apple slices , it sounds funny but I like banana slices with peanutbutter also.

Try Benito's bean chips. There are several flavore, and all are good, crunchy and have reasonable Protein content. Really good with re fried Beans and/or chili.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
