Snack Ideas--help!!!



Recommended Posts

My nutritionist gave me a few ideas, but I am now bored w/ them. The doctor says 6 meals a day----I need meals I can grab out of a bag or quickly make. I have a job that busy w/ patients all day. I want to keep my meals going to feed my metabolism, but I find it hard at times. I will take any suggestions!! Thanks,

My all time favorite snack: Quaker Soy Crisps BBQ or White Chedder

18 crisps per serving/ 110 calories/ 0 fat/ 15 carbs/ 2 fiber/ 4 sugar/

6 protein

I'm fairly restricted right now so eating 18 crisps in one sitting is possible but I take it slow.

They are yummy and satisfy my need for crunch!

For a fast snack I usually choose Peanut Butter...with banana, wasa crackers, apples, or just by the spoonfull!

I also like to have 1/2 of an avocado, sprinkled w/ salt....just spoon it out! So good and cheap this time of year! Very good for you, too.

2 slices of canadian bacon with a slice of low fat cheddar in between (I love Cabot light cheddar)...and eaten like a little sandwich!

Hope that helps.

light mozzarella string cheese...I also love the soy crisp but creamy ranch is my favorite...they are so good. The turkey pepperoni is good too. My nutritionist told me the Protein in Peanut Butter is not enough to overcome the amount of fat in it. She told me not to eat it.

Refried Beans, hummus, there are quite a few Snacks out there, you might do a google search for low fat low calorie snacks...Deanna

String cheese is an excellent one for me. yogurt works, I know that is so diet cliche but I have more restriction with regular yogurt than I do with meat sometimes. I also like to take my fave lunch meat from the deli sliced deli thin, ( i really like roast beef, ham/fat free turkey) and put about a half a tablespoon of philly cream cheese on it and maybe a green onion and roll it into a little roll and two of those will really make me full and they are very tasty. I just make a 4-6 the night before and they are awesome just to grab and eat at a moment's notice.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
