What are your favorite snacks?



Recommended Posts

I have two nutrition visits left before surgery but am struggling to get the last snack in. What are some of your favorites? I would love some ideas. Thanks!

I'm not sure I understand your question. Are you talking about a pre-surgery safe snack, post surgery, or maintenance?

cheese stick, almonds, sliced apples ( no skin after surgery)... Give Fayeh Greek yogurt a try, very thick and creamy, much less sugar than most other yogurt...

a lot of days I have 1 ounce almonds (with skins on) with 1 ounce of dried tart cherries and a few chocolate chips. mmmm so filling.

I also love the Power Crunch bars - triple chocolate is my fav.

this afternoon I have half a cup of cottage cheese and about 1/3 an apple sliced.

One of my go to Snacks (actually it was a meal for the first few months post-op) was deviled eggs... but made using hummus rather than mayo and oil. I was lazy, and would buy the pre-boiled eggs in the bag from the grocery store. One egg split in half... mix the yolk with a tablespoon or so of hummus and some salt and pepper (I also added hot sauce.) Sometimes I would feel full after one egg half.

I make Protein balls for a sweet treat - 1 cup natural Peanut Butter w/honey, two scoops chocolate protein power and a few mini chocolate chips sprinkled in. Roll into balls and freeze.

sounds good - I'll have to try this after surgery - I'm in the liquid pre-op now... 1st day - so far so good.

That right there may make me actually eat a deviled egg. Thanks for sharing.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
