i am 4 months out and my fav is string cheese and apples yummmmyyyyyyyyy

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

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

Not horrible but not great either.

My favorite go to snack is caprese "salad."

5 mini mozzarella balls- fresh mozzarella in Water is the best!

5 cherry tomatoes

fresh basil- few leaves

drizzle of olive oil

drizzle of balsamic vinegar

Helllppp...i'm snacking like crazy all of a sudden. Need to seriously reign it in. any support suggestions. I'm five months in and my doc wants me off snacks period

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!

lisa those are a brand of chips. put yourself on a schedule every 2-3 hrs you are allowed to eat not before that thats what i do i try not to graze i just eat on schedule try every 2 hrs i promise you wont be as hungry by the time hunger hits it will be 2 hrs

I eat Wheat thins, or pita chips with the dip.

............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.

Great ideas! My fav is cottage cheese with pears. Cant wait to try the protein balls. Luckily I have everything to make them. Too cold to go out!

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.

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. :-(

love yes you can have it on the soft food phase, that along with tuna cottege cheese yogarts.

ok i have a new fav. beef Jerky, spinach dip and tortilla chips. i am a trader joes girl now so this is what i buy and how i eat it

1oz jerky, 2 tbsp of the dip and 8 trader joes no salt added tortilla chips. yummmmyyyy

Cheri... Can you please share your homemade pita chips recipe? Please
