snacks



Recommended Posts

I am wondering what kind of Snacks everyone is eating? I found some trail mixes are pretty good for you and nuts. Along with yogurt and sugar free popsicles. I have also stocked up on string cheese. I would love to add some more things into my life that have some more Protein content in it. Sometimes the same things get old. I bought a few Protein Bars that had lots of protein but tasted horrid

I found a Nature Valley granola that has 10g of Protein for a 1/2 cup. I'll put some in vanilla greek yogurt and have for lunch sometimes. I usually can't finish the whole thing.

Hello AmBeR09, I am 10 months out but still snacking a ruff situation because what I find has also the fat I don't want in it. Some Snacks are considered slider's as well, so watch out, watch that you do not over consume them, sliders have a tendency to fill you up less because they don't fill the space in you stomach with the same volume that you see when you see them in a bowl or on a plate. So, I like chips and found a few and eat another crunchy one, I may revisit with some more info later, unsure. Lovethese: KashiHummus Crisp Sundried Tomato, Basil & Feta, https://www.kashi.com/our-foods/crisps/kashi-hummus-crisp-sundried-tomato-basil-feta , Love this, Roasted Edamame; http://www.nuts.com/search?q=edamame , Cereal, http://www.specialk.com/en_us/products/cold-cereals/protein.html , These are a treat; 90 calorie http://www.fiberone.com/products/brownies/new-90-calorie-lemon-bar , Marzetti® Fat Free Ranch Veggie Dip; http://www.marzetti.com/products/product/2/166/marzetti-fat-free-ranch-veggie-dip ...There's some, hope you like. :)

You're welcome!! I love my Protein snacks! Also, do you like yogurt? Dannon Light & Fit Greek Yogurt is good AND a great source of protein! I like the strawberry and blueberry.

I do like yogurt but even with all the different flavors it seems like it gets old. I do want to see if anyone sells PB2 in my town to open more options to me too.

I eat the Yoplait 100 cal Greek yogurt, Protein bars & nuts. For the nuts, I may do a trail mix, or sometimes I mix the nuts with some sugars free yogurt covered raisins.

I don't know if you have a Stop and Shop where you live, but I recently found PB2 there.

Not sure where you are, but they sell PB2 at my local grocery store (Kroger). It's in the natural/organic food section.

I realize this might not be for everyone, but one of my go-to Snacks from the beginning has been Louis Kemp imitation crab legs with a small amount of cocktail sauce. 3 legs are only 70 calories and have 6 grams of Protein. My sleeve tolerates them very well. They last a long time in the fridge, and are pretty filling.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
