CanyonBaby, Thanks for this conversation! It is definitely full of good advice. I don’t think of it as a formal snack bag, but I do make sure to have something available so I can eat if needed. At home, I always keep tons of fruit ready to eat – I love blueberries especially. Also, I have a lot of Greek yogurt. I try not to snack in the car unless absolutely necessary because that’s an easy way to down way to many calories if I start eating nuts or cheese while focusing on the road. Hard-boiled eggs are another quick snack, and beef Jerky, although I know it’s high in sodium.

Raw almonds, spicy dried edamame or string cheese

Single yogurts, strong cheese, raw pecans, cashews, I keep some organic turkey and roll up with some cream cheese, I found the turkey Jerky low sodium, cottage cheese, I can pretty much live on these items!

As someone who often berated themselves for simple food mistakes I am hoping this WLS will make up for all the times I thought energy bars were healthy. Replacement, made a little mixed nut Peanut Butter sans salt for myself. The more I bother to put on my glasses, the more I find those hidden ingredients: molasses, cottonseed oil, etc. Being that I am only four weeks out of VSG, my Vitamixer has found new life. Otherwise, I would just weigh 4 to 6 oz of unsalted mixed nuts and slowly chew and savor them one at a time.
