Snacking Tips



Recommended Posts

I'm a nursing student so I need some tips on high Protein Snacks on the go. It's hard for me to bring chicken breast or high protein meats to class and clnical. Does anyone have any tips on what to eat on the go to feel full? I am still on soft foods but am tolerating crackers. I have been eating wheat thins to increase my Fiber intake, but they aren't too great for protein.

Light babybell or cheese strings? What about tuna Snacks. The cloverleaf ones I buy are 18gms of protein and very small. Just mix a little mayo in there. What about Isopure? Or shakes?

Love them babybell cheeses and the string cheese.

I also do the Trader Joe's jerkey. Any and all varieties.

Big fan of the RTD Premier Protein shakes, costco, Sams.

Kay Naturals make Protein Snacks that are pretty good. You can buy them online or at Walgreens. My favorite are the pretzels. They have 12-15 grams of protein in them. If you crave salty snacks, these would be better than wheat thins! Chese is good, as are Protein Bars and shakes. Just watch the carbs! Good luck!

Thank you! What kind of Protein Shakes do you all use? I've been researching all these different kinds, but would appreciate some tips on what works best post-op.

Think thin bars are wonderful! 20 grams of Protein & no sugar low carb!! My fav is chunky Peanut Butter. I like them cold

Quest Protein Bars are my true love LOL. And Jerky and little cheeses like Babybels are also awesome.

I'm an RN so I feel your pain. My favorite Snacks are beef or turkey jerkey, nuts (usually almonds), Protein bars (Quest are my favorite), crystal light and light string cheese sticks or baby bel cheese. I toss the stuff that needs cooling in an insulated lunch sack with a small freezer pack and the rest in my bag.

Good luck!

I like the BariWise fruit juices and the strawberry banana Protein shake. They all have 15 grams of Protein and taste great. The strawberry banana one even has pieces of strawberry in it. The peach mango fruit drink is my favorite, but they are all good.

I rely a lot on babybel and string cheeses as well as Jerky. They are great for when I'm on the go. I can also buy Muscle Milk protein shakes from most gas stations.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
