Best food for grazing !

Hi all, I know grazing is bad but my hunger is gradually coming back and I'm struggling not to graze. I'm 11 weeks post op, I went band to sleeve. I have lost 33lb so far and have another 24lb to go. I took my eye off the ball for a few weeks and gained about 6lb, guess I got complacent. I've lost it again now and have learnt a valuable lesson, even though I can eat less that before, if I choose bad food, I'll still gain, albeit at a much slower rate than pre-surgery. Anyway back to my point, I'd love to hear what people consider to be their most tasty, satisfying, low fat / carb healthy grazing snack, one that you could munch away on and not consume to many calories / fat etc. At the moment I'm having a handful of almonds, an extra chocolate calci-chew, low fat yoghurt, the problems is they're not really satisfying. I have a bigger stomach than most will have as I went band to sleeve, I can eat just over a cup of anything without any problem at all. Grateful for helpful responses :-)

  • You are right, grazing is bad. You really want to confine yourself to set meal and snack times. However, if you are going to graze, put down the nuts! They are extremely high calorie and will NOT help

Thank-you all for sharing this information, it had given me lots of ideas :-) good news for me is that I've lost a few more pounds this week after a long stall then a gain, I'm now 209lb, the lightest I've been in about 20 years! ????????

Try not to graze but eat a small amt every 2 hours instead: a small handful of nuts or a slice of cheese are my choices at 7 months and I don't get hungry. Maybe by 11 weeks I can proceed to some slices of fruit or veggies.

Pickles. or a pickle wrapped around a piece of deli meat.


I'm a big fan of protein bars, but I can't do the ones that taste like medicine. I love the PowerCrunch Chocolate and Peanut Butter fudge bars. They taste like a treat but have 13 grams of protein.

I also am a big fan of the Nature Vally Protein bars which have 10 grams of protein.

I can't really do whey but in this form, it seems to bother me less.
