What type of snacks you keep on hand? I have 3 kids under 9 and struggling with grabbing somethin when I feel hungry to go to next activity with them.

I keep sliced melon and other fruits on hand. I have 3 busy, ravenous kids that demand food all the time. I am 10 weeks post op and find that the fresh fruit is a win for us all.

Cool thanks

I buy fresh fruit constantly, chop it up and keep baggies of it at work or in a small cooler in my truck. I also do alot of chopped veggies. I like celery with pb so i get in some protein! I also like the laughing cow cheese wedges, taste deslih with anything :) Hope this helps .

Jerky was a fav for me early out. Turkey Jerky from Trader Joes. Tasty and (relatively) easy to digest, for those a few months out.

I keep almonds with me at all times. My doc sells small size Oh Yeah bars. They are a fulfilling snack. :-)

I'm early out so a bit limited but I'm snacking on cottage cheese (the little portable 4 oz cups from break stones), Greek yogurt, and babybels which seem to do okay with no refrigeration for a few days. Occasionally I've done a quest protein bar. These help me hit my protein goals too

I slice a cucumber, mini sweet peppers, and throw some baby carrots in a baggie...usually make up four at a time. Then I mix a spicy ranch seasoning packet with some fat free sour cream for a dip. I found these little two tablespoon containers and measure out the dip so I can grab and go. Quaker sweet chili mini rice cakes are good when I want crunch. I always have a cranberry almond protein bar in my purse in case I get caught out somewhere so I won't be tempted to eat something I shouldn't. Oh, and always have 2% string cheese on hand...great snack for 50 calories :)

String cheese, protein bars, snack size cottage cheese, jerky, and almonds or walnuts :-D
