Hi All,

I'm 3 months post op and I am having serious cravings for frackers and chip. Does anyone have any recommendations for replacements good for that crunchy, salty texture?

Thanks

I eat roasted Broad Beans by Enlightened. I think the BP store sells them although I get them from my local grocery store. Very hard to eat more than you should, they fill you up pretty fast and I'm 4 months post.

I actually like the Wheat Thin Cracker chips when I'm feeling a little crunch. The veggie one is really good. I usually eat about 6 or so with some cheese for a snack.

Quest chips. Salt and Vinegar are delicious. They are Protein, and almost no carbs.

To satisfy that salty and crunchy craving, I sometimes turn to Trader Joe's Oven-Baked cheese Crisps. There are no carbs and 15g of Protein per serving! An amazing option. I take them to the movies as a popcorn replacement.

Good luck!

I ordered this with my bimonthly shipment of Vitamins and I am excited about them. A bit concerned that each bag has three servings, but I'll deal. Thanks for the suggestion. I wanted to get the garlic ones but they were sold out, so I got the mesquite ones.

That's a great idea I'm filing this for future reference! X

Sure going to look for or order some of these! Hope they would help satisfy my need to crunch once I get to that point!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
