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.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
