Something "crunchy" To Snack On...

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. :)

    The stringy fibers in celery make it really hard to digest and can cause a bezoar or intestinal blockage that could lead to a bowel impaction. Not fun. That was my doc's reasoning.

    Try this with won ton wrappers: Spray lightly with canola spray (lightly) and then put a mixture of Splenda and cinnamon and use a strainer and drop on top. Bake at 350 for 6-8 minutes!

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

Thank you Sleevdreamer! I can start to have crunchy, just small amounts to see what agrees

OMG-I tried the microwave cheese slice today and it was AWESOME. I used Borden pepper jack slices. Definitely worth the 60 seconds it takes to cook, lol!

If you are a Parmesan fan, you can do the same with shredded parm. Just pour some on a paper plate and zap. Perfectly crispy cheese. Yum!

I tried this the other day, and I must say that it was very yummy!! Thanks so much for sharing this.

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' date=' 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.[/quote']

Celery needs to be cut up tiny, and cooked or sauteed, or else the strings are not good for you!! But I would say this would be later, then sooner!!

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' date='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.[/quote']

what is sliders?

Easy to eat but little or no nutritional value. For example, Cheeto's is a slider

Whole grain crackers and pistachio's !!

I'm in love with wrappers. lunch today was wrapper spread with 1 tbsp of hummus. So tasty! Have mostly done savory...will have to try sweet!

Thank you!

Health wise makes barbecue crunch protein chips. They come in bags of 1.2oz 130 calories 10g of protien. My doctors office sells them for 1.50.

I'm in love with Kale chips and they're so easy ti make! Yummy!
