I'll be 3 months post-op on Nov. 5th. Has anyone tried Veggie Straws/Chips? Are these and other low fat/carb snacks okay to eat in moderations? I realize these are empty calories and slider foods. I don't eat them every day.

I am not an expert to comment on nutritional disadvantages, but I do have occasional chip or pretzel thin and have no issues with them. Some brand (sorry forgot which one) black bean chips have 5g of protein per serving and pretty low carbs, so it is not as bad as potato chips... Not sure if you'd be able to eat the whole serving though

Thanks, Ponchik! Where did you buy them?

I get them at Whole foods but I think you can buy similar stuff at super target or any other grocery store

Beanitos are the bean chips. They are awesome. They come in a lot of flavors. The white bean ones tend to be my fav. I googled them for my area and they are $1.59 a big bag.

I liked these a lot, they tasted great! But my pouch said 'heck no' and punished me. :-)

I recently purchased a pk of Kay's naturals Protein Chips (Crispy Parmesan) which have 12gms of protein/1.2oz. Pretty good. They havent bothered me.
