Looking for snack foods? My work schedule is crazy and need some ideas for Snacks. I'm 6 wks post-op rny, and I'm tired of cheese and yogurt. Suggestions???..???

I snack on cottage cheese, luna bars, the Kay's Natural brand veggie pizza puffs, almond honey cookie bites, crispy parmesean crackers, sugar free Jell-O, shredded beef Jerky, sugar free popsicles, and sugar free pudding. It helps that my supervisor understands what I had done, and lets me eat those foods when I am not technically on break or on lunch. Good luck with your search for snack foods. ( I am 7 weeks post-op RNY)

My favorite snack lately is half of an apple with some Peanut Butter on it. I also like popcorn with melted cheese on top, almond nut thins dipped in hummus, string cheese, sautéed veggies with soy sauce, turkey and cheese wraps with spicy mustard, olives, pickles, and crackers with turkey pepperoni and cheese. I can't say I snack a ton, but these would be my choices when I do...

My mid morning snack is either carrots or apple slices (sometimes dipped in Greek yogurt). The hard dense foods stay with me longer so I'm not starving at lunchtime and eat like a piggy.

I stay away from carbs - occasional wine excepted. High Protein yoghurt (Chobani) or a small handful of nuts (pref almonds but I take what I can find) are what I use. Carbs of any type make me hungry more quickly and will also trigger an insulin response, and insulin builds fat reserves rather than burns them. My understanding is that these surgeries all perform better for us on a low carb diet.

I made cheese crisps today yum! Low fat cheese. Small piles on the griddle on high. Melt then harden. Crunch and Protein. Yum!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
