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!

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 :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
