What Is Your Snack After Weight Loss Surgery? Im Craving Something And Im 4 Weeks Post-Op.



Recommended Posts

Before surgery I was obsessed with chips, now I can't have them because what would be the point of having this major surgery??? But do you guys have anything good I can try out??

Sometimes a few hours before diner I have 3 low fat wheat thins. I just get really hungry at around 3pm and we have diner at 530 so I need a lil something to help me out.

my favorite for a "crunchy" snack (not right now though, but I did these before my surgery 7/23) is to take a saucer, spray it with PAM, put a piece of cheese on it and NUKE it in the microwave for a minute. Then take it out, let it cool a few seconds and whalah, a crunchy cheesy snack!

cheese. There are lots of different cheeses. I keep tasting new ones and either add them to my list of foods I love or vow to never again eat the ones I don't like. I don't use crackers or anything else to put them on, just cheese.

you can NUKE Turkey Pepperoni's too, just place them on a paper towel instead! YUM, good Protein snack.

I like cheese Snacks. For crunchy stuff, I tried the Protein chips that you can get online. Each package has about 10 grams of Protein. The taste isn't great, but it takes care of the crunch craving.

I also like nuts although not a lot of them. Almonds are good.

I'm not very into nutrition, i just know briefly what's good enough to have, and what's not.

So far, i've snacked on diabetic digestive biscuits, or my all time favorite, unsalted baked almonds, or boiled edamame Beans, or gabanzo beans.. etc

I heard the Beans give you lots of gas, but i don't have problems with them, and they fill me up quickly.

Also, high Calcium milk half a mug at night before i sleep, keeps me sleeping, otherwise, i might wake up in the middle of the night HUNGRY! :)

If I'm doing anything wrong, please let me know. so far i'm losing steadily, but i'm happy, i just broke a 2 months stall!!

all is well and is looking good though..

Good Luck to all!! yay us!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
