Snack And Mini Meal Ideas?



Recommended Posts

I'm getting tired of the same ol' Snacks and mini meals. I currently use Emily Bites recipes and eat a lot of yogurt, shaved meets, canned meats, cheeses, etc.

Anyone have any new ideas for the salt lover in me? On the go ideas would be great too. I can only have nuts 1-2 times per week. Thank you in advance.

Pork grinds, just be careful with them they are high Protein, and high calorie. I always get green giant broccoli and cheese single serving it's 40 calories if you buy the 4 pack they are perfect sleeve size. Those are not high protein, 2 grams, but it does have Fiber and makes a good healthy snack.< /p>

If I'm craving a salty snack I eat an ounce of beef Jerky - an ounce is a lot more than you would think or I will drink bouillon. Gets liquid in and kills the salt craving!

Dill pickes are another option but my sleeve doesnt like them.

I like dry roasted edamame! 1/4 cup has 14 grams of protein! It is very filling! They also make wasabi flavor!

Where do you find dry roasted edamame in the grocery store?

I got it on Amazon! It could be in the organic or nut section, but I didn't see it in my supermarket. The local Asian market has it too!

I've never tried edamame. What does it taste like? Salty? I love salt. lol

Yes, salty! The serving size is 1/4 cup and very filling! 14 grams of protein! It's dry roasted but they also make a Wasabi that was too hot for me! I bring it to the movies with me:)

Celery and string cheese

Dried plaintains (taste like potato chips)

Boiled egg (great for eating on the go)

Go to nuts.com. They sell every kind of dried fruit imaginable. And they have a dried vegetable mix that is a fun and healthy snack.< /p>

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
