Are there ANY brands out there of chips crackers or anything crunchy that are ok on an occasional basis? I mean for dipping, like hummus? Would pretzels be ok? Or for tuna/chicken salad? Every once in a while it would be nice to have a crunch vessel to eat it on. I understand they might be sliders and have little nutrition but for me try would be a good treat like how others may indulge on popcorn or something once or twice a month. I'm talking way past regular food stage and also once I've reached a good "maintain" point too that is. Just wanna know what my options are!!!! Thank you :)

Hi I don't suppose you would have to sign up...

But if you do you get all of those discounts instantly! And it's all the same info you'd have to give to order. You can order once and not ever order again.

The magic pops are hands down one of my staples though, hummus, tuna, even a hamburger patty!

They taste a bit like rice cakes and they are big

And only 15 calories :)

These are really good - and they're made from beans!

I do hummus crisps. Kashi and Quaker makes them and both are really good. Both are around 120-130 calories, 16-20 carbs, 3-4g of Protein. I've used them with low fat/low calorie chicken, egg, and crab salad, or bean dip. The serving size is quite large for both too 16-20 crisps so I've never actually gotten a full serving size down, but they are really good.

We started at around the same weight but I am about four and half months out.

I found them at my local Walmart and I have a Winn-Dixie by me so I'm pretty sure you'll be able to find them too. I found Quakers brand by the rice cake section. So maybe try there.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

I love Beanitos! All of the flavors are great! When I do have the urge or if I know I'm going to be somewhere where others are going to but pounding down regular chips, I take these.

For a salty treat, I like pretzels because I won't overeat them. For crackers, I look for whole grain lower calorie. I like the Special K crackers too.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
