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

Someone posted the recipe for Protein balls made with oatmeal' date=' Peanut Butter & whey Protein Powder...they are YUMMY!! 1 will Satisfy my sweat tooth & chocolate craving (used chocolate Whey) & help me get in the protein![/quote']

You mean after this surgery my teeth will sweat too? Lol couldn't resist! I am preop ans I've read so many weird effects I had to stop reading for a while! Scared me!

Beef jerkey and turkey jerkey- I eat that a lot. Deli ham or turkey rolls- with cheese. I do those a lot for a quick snack or even lunch. And diet hot cocoa with Torini SF syrup. You get Protein from the milk and its YUMMY!

I have to agree. I also have been eating Ostrim lately which is a combination of beef and ostrich meat Jerky. I do not like the texture as much as regulat oberto jerky, but the flavor is good and is sold through my surgery center. The second snack that I only use before running is called chocolate paradise energy squares from nuts.com. it is loaded with good carbs for exercise where you need it ( eg running for an hour). My standard Snacks are usually chicken sausage (3 oz) or a Protein shake with Water.

Ostrich does taste a little different. Not like beef, chicken, duck, alligator, bison, deer, bear, buffalo or boar. Tried all of those at some point. Maybe it is like Emu or Kangaroo. Who knows, never tried that.

I like it and just discovered it last week at Swedish hospital WLS Center here in Seattle, Wa. I am sure you might be able to buy it online direct or from Amazon.

It says on the package it is for athletes. I do not know about that. I think it will work for anyone and is very lean. 60 calories per stick and there are two in a package. Sodium is not too bad at 340 mg for two. High Protein. I found it did not fill me up the same way as chicken products, but that could be just because the sticks are thin and I chewed it pretty good. Try it out if you can; I think you will enjoy it.

This is so yummy

moving into more regular diet habits, added 2, I obliterated my system with 0 fats, 0 carbs, lesser nutrients and needed add snack, minding I eat a couple chips and break the sqaures that are larger in two mostly.

Chia chips and Spirulina carob squares.

Kind of allot like fritos and granola bars.

Yeah, I saw those there and thought " hmm, interesting." I am a big chia seed fan with my morning shake. Helps me be regular and with providing extra stored Water during my long runs. Highly recommend them. So I continued to snoop arounds nuts.com and then I fund chocolate covered popcorn. Danger zone! Danger zone! I have to now brainwash myself so I forget those are there even though I do order the energy squares now for running longer then 30 minutes (5k for me). One of those is perfect for giving me the energy to go from 30 minutes to 60 minutes and complete a 10k.

Do you gel them first and add that to your shake or do you just add them right in? How much do you add?

Yes, I gel the seeds for 30 minutes or they are not helpful for me from experience. What usually works for me is that I gel them in Water while I am working through 32 oz of water in the morning while taking most of my daily supplements. After 30 minutes, I shake in my Protein shake for my first meal. This is at 6 am so works really well because the extra water before drinking the shake will make sure you do not dehydrate on the seeds. I drink before instead of after the seeds in order to keep them in my stomach longer ( stop drinking about 10 minutes before shake). I add 2 tbsp of seeds to about 8 oz of water. I repeat this for my last meal of the day, usually at 9 pm. Find a Protein Shake that works for you if you are going to take them as often as I do for the long haul. I happen to like Syntrax matrix Cookies and creme ( extended release so keeps you "full" longer) in addition to GNC amplified Wheybolic 60 cookies and creme ( for run recovery).
