Snacking after surgery



Recommended Posts

Ok so, Im getting sleeved in a week from today..My biggest problem is that I snack during the day..I have an office position which has me chained to a desk for 8 hrs. This has been my biggest problem. Obviously I have stopped doing this prior to surgery so my mind is right but Im afraid of old habits resurfacing after surgery. Are there any healthy Snacks you guys can recommend after Im all healed? If I never ate a sugary treat the rest of life, id be fine with it, its the salty treats that do it in for me! ugh! Please help! Thanks!

I used to be a snacker as well but I have no desire to snack mindlessly now. I barely get hungry and if its not meal time, Im sipping Water so that takes the place of any snacking I might do. I hope your snacking desire gets taken away like the majority of your tummy :)

I am a snacker too so i always make sure to have something on hand.... here are a few of my favorites...I do the baby bell light cheese, cashews (4mos out), a slice of lunch meat, cottage cheese, yogurt, 1/2 hard boiled egg, edamame.... Hope some of these might help!

my surgeon told me post op snacking is ok. you will only be able to eat really small portions at a time. drink lots of Water and pick healthy Snacks that follow your eating regimen post op.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
