I am a girl who panics if I can not snack! Hahaha I love Kashi granola bars, the layered coconut and dark chocolate. I have a sweet tooth and this really helps with that. 120 calories and 3.5g of fat..I know that seems like a lot...but as long as you stick to one it should be okay :rolleyes: I also love baked pretzels, baby carrots with a little hummus, yogurt, and popcorn (non buttered obviously). Hope this helps a little! :D

My go-to snack when I am actually hungry (not head hunger) is light string cheese. I think it's 80 calories and 8 grams of Protein. It holds me over well until time for dinner.< /p>

I actually don't snack per say, but instead have my next meal when I am hungry. If I get a sweet tooth, I have a Fiber plus bar (caramel coconut).

For Snacks, you could try 100 calorie popcorn, hardboiled egg, deli meats, string cheese, etc. I would try to keep snacks to less than 150 calories.

I love Pistachios, The Weight Wise Nut: Pistachios are one of the lowest fat, lowest calorie and highest fiber nuts and they offer the most nuts per serving compared to any other snack nut – 49 to be exact.

I have portioned out tiny bags of peanuts, unsalted of course. I eat weight watchers smoked mozzarella string cheese..50 calories per stick. I have the weight watchers spreadable cheese wedges for crackers. I get reduced fat cheese nips and only have half the serving size suggested on the box but I do eat the whole cheese wedge because its only 35 calories per wedge. I try really hard to avoid carbs in my Snacks and save that for something that I really, really want later. Sometimes I just drink a small glass of milk if I am just a bit hungry or shaky..I have a hard time keeping my blood sugar on an even keel (hypoglycemic) so I have to watch that I don't go too long without some carbs to balance me.

I love pistachios, they are the perfect bandster snack.< /p>

I like sugar free pudding when I have a sweet tooth, only 60 calories.

If I get hungry at night, I'll have 1/4 cup of 1% low fat cottage cheese for 45 calories.

I'm also a fan of low fat Wheat Thins (8 are 65 calories) with a wedge of Babybel Light Swiss for 35 calories.

They have little round wheels of cheese that are 50 calories and soft wedges that are 35 calories. I know they have different flavors though hard to find them all in the light. I really like the creamy swiss and garden cream cheese ones. They are a little pricey though, it's about $5 for 8 wedges.

Serving size of beef or turkey Jerky its about 70 calories. I get the nugget size which is easier to measure. I have serving size baggies (1/4 of a small apple cubed)

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
