I am not sleeved yet but have a concern for after I heal from surgery. I really like snacks that are crunchy. I thought celery until I heard how harmful it can be to some of us. I obviously prefer something low calorie, low carb.

Any suggestions?

thanks.

Soy crisps are yummy. They come in all sorts of flavors. I like the BBQ and the White Cheddar.

Mmmmm soy crisps?!? Where do u find those daisy ?

I did chex rice cereal after 2 weeks they were really easy and broke down in my mouth to nothing. at that time I wasnt worried about carbs,calories,fat. I was weak and frankly needed it. I don't eat it anymore since it is a "slider" food and I can eat alot, I would NOT eat any nuts until 1 month post op.

Nuts are what I do - almonds, mixed, edamamae. I measure and account for them but they don't set me on a carb bender like crackers or cereal does

Another vote here for pork skins. 80 cal., 0 carbs and 7 gr of protein!

Do you eat anything with the pork skins?

I LOVE my dry roasted Edamame and 1/4 cup is 14G of Protein.

This is my newest treat!! Love it!

Why couldn't u just pull the strings out of the celery? I do that anyway BC they weird me out. I'm way OCD

Lol!! You can have a side of a cardiologist with the pork rinds!!!!! I'm almost 8 weeks out, and I get my salt/crunch fix with Claussen pickles...yum!!

Wow I didn't ask for a comedian, if you have nothing positive to say to a post, please don't reply!

As for pickles my sleeve is not liking them right now to acidic!

It's ok..just a little humor! So sorry if you were offended..

Mmmmm soy crisps?!? Where do u find those daisy ?

The brand is Genisoy. I used to be able to get them from Walmart but for some crazy reason, they don't carry them anymore. I've seen them at other grocery stores though.

Now I get them where I get everything.... vitacost.com I get my Vitamins, shakes, Protein bars, just about everything there. shipping is free if you order $49 worth and I always order that much.

Thanks daisy ! I'll look into it. Sounds yum!

These are sooo good, only .5g carbs and 3g Protein per serving! Tip: I usually only put them in the micro. for 35 sec tho, its trial and error

Crispy cheese Crackers

Ingredients:

Deluxe American cheese slices (not cheese food or cheese product)

Directions:

Cut one square of cheese into 16 tiny squares. Arrange on a sheet of parchment paper in somewhat of a ring around the edges of the paper. Don't place the cheese squares too close together or they'll stick to each other. Don't place any in the center of the paper or they will burn before the outer squares are done. Carefully place the sheet of parchment on the tray of a microwave oven. Microwave on HIGH about 65 seconds, or until the crackers are well-browned, but not burnt. Watch closely and add more time if needed. Remove the parchment from microwave and let the crackers cool slightly before removing them from the paper. Peel them off the paper and store in an airtight container. Repeat this process one cheese slice at a time. These will keep quite well in an air-tight container at room temperature for several days or longer.

Each slice of cheese makes 16 crackers

Can be frozen

Per Serving (16 crackers): 106 Calories; 9g Fat; 6g Protein; .5g Carbohydrate; 0g Fiber; .5g Net Carbs

Ok this sounds stupid but why no celery?

Because they are stringy and can get stuck in your tummy.

Celery strings can get stuck in your staple line. Takes your tummy at least 12 weeks to heal. When you can have it they recommend you pull off the strings. When you can eat crunchy, try fried pork rinds, rice cakes, Wasa crispbread crackers, Lundberg Rice Chips instead of potato chips, Pop Chips instead of potato chips. Popcorn too when you get to that point.
