4pm nibbles ideas?



Recommended Posts

Hi guys...

I am struggling here...I can pretty much go a whole day without eating in between meals...but as soon as 4pm hits I get sooooo hungry. I end up eating biscuits and not just 1...GRRR or a sandwich. What I am wondering is what are some good nibbles ideas that I can have... that are yummy but dont have too much calories/carbohydrates to get me through till dinner at 6pm. What does everyone else eat?

Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

:confused: Becky :help:

When I get the munchies I eat soy chips... a few does the trick...crunchy, and 7 gm of protien for the serving...

another good thing is 2 reduced fat ritz crackers and 2 tbsp of cottage cheese or the lughing cow light cheese

pretzels are a yummy choice as are quaker rice Snacks, they are app 70cal per serving and very filling and astonishingly good. For lower carb options, a low fat string cheese, a small salad, almonds, Peanut Butter. It is normal for banded folks to have 3 meals +1 planned snack. Most people like that snack in the afternoon between lunch and dinner because there is so much time in between those two meals. If you have the snack it will help with your portions at dinner and also help keep you from eating too fast at dinner :rolleyes:

Well, the way my job is.... my lunch is at 4:00pm and supper is at 11:00pm. Weird, I know.

I've been doing what Dr. Oz says..... I'm eating 12 unroasted Almonds. It works! I also snack on grapes when I'm feeling that "sweet" craving coming on. It seems to appease that sugar demand in me. Just don't forget..... "UNROASTED" nuts.... never eat roasted ones as the Omega fat is changed in the nut once it's roasted; therefore, it loses all the goodness.

I'm not banded as yet, but I've been working toward that day. My first appointment with the band doctor is the 24th! Yeah!!!!!!

3 little pieces of melba toast with either laughing cow cheese or "natural fruit" jam spread on...depending on whether I'm wanting sweet or salty.

The melba toat I buy is "twice toasted" so it is incredibly crunchy and while I have a pretty tight band and can't eat normal breads, melba toast goes down as long as I take small bites and chew a lot.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
