Where does one buy basil & sundried Tomato flavor?? It sounds good!

Most of the grocery stores here in California sell them. They are made by Kraft. They also sell jalapeno flavor, but I'm not a fan of that really. They are usually right next to all the regular string cheeses.

Thanks, I will look for them. Up until now I've been eating the "weight watchers" string cheese,

Not horrible but not great either.

I am about 4 1/2 months out and have a few favorites:

Frozen grapes, green or red - I prefer the red I think they taste like candy. I can eat about 6-10 depending on the size.

I love baby carrots with the lighthouse jalapeno ranch dressing to dip them in.

Laughing cow light chipotle cheese with the wheat thin toasted chips

Pirates Booty

string cheese with apples or grapes

fruit salad (1/4 banana, 1 slice apple, few grapes, blackberries)

lunch meats rolled around a string cheese

My list goes on :) Hope this gives some ideas!

............ok, what may i ask is pirates booty????LOL!!! Keep the ideas coming !!!!I am tired of eating lunchmeat, string cheese and yougart !! LOL!

Pirate's Booty are almost like puffy cheetos, but a little better for you. I use them on days when I need to get my carbs up a little from a work out. They are really good!! I get the .5 ounce snack bags and they are perfect! I know funny name! I usually find them near the baked chips or "healthy" chips section of the store.

I haven't gotten to snack yet so I'm drooling over these ideas. I was looking at turkey jerkey in the store the other day. Really high protein/low carb but I wasn't sure if it was too hard to digest quite yet. For Super Bowl I think I'm going to make spicy garbanzo Beans which normally would be eaten with fried pita chips but I love them so just gonna eat them by themselves.

I am still in full liquids, but I was at Walmart the other day and saw sticks of imitation crab meat and picked some up. I think it will be okay for the soft foods stage? Any thoughts on this? I have no idea how much food will fill me up, but I thought it would be good for lunch or a snack. It's pretty high in Protein.< /p>

I have very strict requirements for the soft goods phase, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, soft eggs and tofu. I like imitation crab, but when I liked at it, there were too many carbs for my plan. :-(

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
