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

Walmart carries individual cottage cheese and peaches and cottage cheese and pineapples packages... They are yummy and perfect size!

This isn't an ideal post-op snack by any means, but SmartFood Popcorn goes down real nice. Don't tell!

My favorite snack at the moment is beef jerky,almounds,almound butter, and LF cheese.

In kind if boring' date=' at five weeks out, I eat fruit flavored mints (certs, ice breakers, etc). They are low in carbs and satisfy the sweet tooth.[/quote']

Oh that is a good idea.

missjenny have you tried trader joes jerky. its is awesome. i tried another brand last night and when i tell you it went straight to my head, my head was pounding from all the sodium taste like i was chewing a salt stick or something gross. trader joes is just right for me

No I haven't tried trader joes; will have to look into it. I would love to find one that is low in sodium and still tastes good. I usually have jack links jerky but it can be way too salty for me at times. I used to be a salt addict before surgery, but I just can't handle it anymore.

yea try trader joes. not as salty

How much sodium is in the TJ kind? I got some jerky at Whole Foods today and it only has 270g, the lowest I have seen.

A word to the wise that is worth repeating! Read the labels! I grabbed one that had 18g of Protein and later read that it had something like hydrolyzed soy protein... or something like that.

Love frozen Healthy Choice Greek Yogurt. Especially the raspberry.Yum!

270 grams and 17 grams of protien. cool i dont have to drive to whole foods. lol now for ingrediants i have to check but im sure it says beef or turkey

organic beef, organic evaporated cane juice, Water, organic soy sauce (water, organic soybeans, salt, organic alcohol), organic apple cider vinegar, salt, organic paprika, natural smoke flavoring, organic black pepper, organic onion powder, organic garlic powder

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

Sorry, just saw this! I use the King Arthur Flour recipes - I've made both the organic whole wheat and the golden pitas and my family loves both. I'll say that I do think the whole wheat ones make better pita chips...just a texture thing, I think.

I make my own because you cannot buy them here and I bake 100% of my bread because we don't care for the local breads. I just make a double batch of the pitas and make half of them into chips. We use the other half for sandwiches. These freeze really well if you're not a regular baker and you decide to freeze the cooled pitas. Just thaw them in the fridge overnight and make chips from there. This also works if you won't be eating a lot of them.

Here are links to the two recipes I've used. I don't modify either of them - they work just as written with my oven.

To make chips I just heat the oven to 350 degrees and brush the pita with olive oil and sprinkle with sea salt (or if I'm making fruit salsa instead of hummus, maybe I'll sprinkle with some sugar and cinnamon) and then I'll cut each pita into eight wedges. Arrange them on a lined baking sheet and bake for about fifteen minutes. Check to make sure they're crispy - they could need more or less time, depending on your oven and the thickness of your pitas.

Best of luck!
