What are you turning to when you are looking to eat something with CRUNCH? I have had issues with some raw veggies, so not sure that is a good option for me. I am usually content with pretty much whatever I eat however, I find myself wanting to really crunch something every now & then.

I eat almonds. I also will eat a saltine with PB on it.

I make "cheese" crackers. 275 degree oven, break slices of cheese into smaller pieces, put on parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes. Makes the cheese crunchy like a cracker. You can bake longer if you want them crunchier. Protein and crunch all in one.

I've used cheddar, swiss, havarti, colby jack.

I've made the baked cheese too. 1 tsp of whatever kind you like baked on parchment paper for 7-10 mins at 350. Makes great dip for hummus.

I'm not into the regular food phase yet, but I would say celery with some PB2, carrots, apples, and almonds. I have tried the ice chips as suggested above, and that is working for now (while at this phase).

Quinoa chips!!! They're REALLY good, as good as regular chips and 9 grams of Protein and 130 calories. I found them last week at Burlington Coat Factory (I know, random) and I'm glad I tried them. Haven't looked for them in the grocery store yet but I'm betting on them not being too hard to find.

Yes the quinoa chips are good and I found lentil ones at costco the other day and they are yummy!

Dried/dehydrated veggies (beets, zucchini, carrots), fresh veggies, Quest makes Protein chips (not my favorite).

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
