Pork Rinds?



Recommended Posts

I know they are higher in fat than wheat thins but would Pork rinds be a good snack for a sleever? Not in the beginning of course. I believe they are high in Protein and low in carbs.

As a former Atkins dieter, I loved Pork rinds for Snacks. They have some crunch without the carbs. At 3½ months out I'm still scared to try them. Before surgergy they were something that you always wanted to have something to drink close by incase they got stuck in your throat......maybe in a couple of months I'll give them a try. That being said, everyone is different. Good luck.

Seems like it might be a slider food to me.

I am just over 12 weeks out and tried Pork rinds for the first time this week. No problems going down whatsoever. I needed something different. I think calorie, carb, and Protein wise, they are better than any cracker or bread based snack because they have zero carbs and zero sugar, and relatively low calories per serving. Also, you can have them with a reduced fat ranch dip, or mashed up avacado and tomatoes, or even humus. Everyone has their own WL plan, and I choose to stay away from bread, crackers, and chips in general. I only allowed myself the rinds because of the no carb, no sugar, high protein ratio. My only problem was that they tasted so good, I ate them several times a day. If you can limit it, then it's a good alternative to crackers, as most are very hign in calories and carbs. But that's just my two cents.

I am a little over 3 months out and I eat them for a snack. They do not bother me at all. I only eat maybe 2-3 rinds every other day when I want something crunchy and tasty. I eat the BBQ flavored ones too.

I love Pork rinds, I eat them when I crave chips. I have not had a problem with them at all.

How about a healthy high fiber/ low calorie cracker? I love the Fiber rich bran crispbread with sunflower seeds. They have 50 calories for two, 3g Protein, 5 g net carb with 7 g fiber. They are delicious with anything: Peanut Butter, laughing cow cheese the list can go on.

Pork rinds don't have to be unhealthy. I read about these, never tried them but they are lower in fat that store brands. http://www.microwaveporkrinds.com/nutrition.asp

My bestie bought those microwave Pork rinds and gave me a pack. They smell awful when cooking but they are delightful!!! Soo good. :)

It was hilarious actually I put the plate in front of my mom and she turned her nose up and grimaced like a toddler. After i convinced her to taste it though she wanted the whole plate! I totally recommend those little suckers.

I buy the Mac's brand from Wally World nice combo of crunch and airy chunks go down with no problem. No food value just a filler type slider food.

Is the Mac brand the microwave type or already in the bag?

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
