Dried edamame and freeze dried crunchamame. Both are surprisingly high Protein and tasty.

My plan has saltines on it when you hit pureed. After pureed your free to resume whatever you can tolerate.

Kale chips? Edamame? Wasabi peas? Sea weed chips? Those are pretty good options if you read labels & chose wisely.

Hope this helps.

allons-y

I was allowed stacy's pita chips. So I would eat about 3 of them with a low fat cheese stick. Probably not as healthy as some of the things listed above but it's my fave!

Doctor Kracker makes some pumpkin Seed Chedder crackers...I LOVE them!! 5 grams Protein in each cracker...I can only eat 1/2 of one at a time and my dr approved...I eat them with cheese or sometimes alone:)

I read that someone recommended Beanitos... Looked like a mostly bean based tortilla chip. I actually saw them at Rite Aid of all places! Sounds pretty good/healthy though for those of us who need crunch... Definitely going to try the dry roasted edamame though!

Really?? I wish it'd known this before I gave away boxes and boxes of this stuff before surgery. I used to LOVE them.

This is not quite as healthy as other above suggestions but if you are just looking for a good crunchy snack there are a bunch of 100 calorie popcorn bags. I am three months out and can only eat about half a bag at a time. It is the only time i really feel like i am getting a whole lot of of crunchy goodness without feeling too guilty afterward

Special K has a high Protein Cereal 10g. for 3/4c. I measure it out and put it in a little baggie. Crunchy and protein :) Although I can't finish all of it at once :)

      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!!
