Post gastric sleeve snack ideas to take to work



Recommended Posts

I am getting ready to go back to work, and want to start planning on snack ideas to take with me.

i will be 5 weeks post op when I return to work, so would appreciate any and all snack ideas other than my Protein Drinks - don't get me wrong, I love the different Premier Protein and muscle milk flavors.... but just want something different. I would love to hear ALL Snacks, not just recent post op ones. Ideally these are just snacks, but if they are a little bigger that's fine too, as I can consolidate them to make it 1 or 2 snacks

Ive ordered small containers to hold snacks to get ready

some suggestions I've read are tuna in the foil packs, hummus, almonds, Greek yogurt, edamame.....

Wow. These are all great- I just overlooked them. String cheese and baby bell are already packaged- jerkey is too. Protein bars- goldfish.

For pre-op and post op I was in the shake/ ready to drink protein/purée/soft food mindset -never put much thought into Snacks.

i really appreciate everyone's input here

i also take low fat meats and wrap them with some provolone. Like a ham or roast beef or turckey rollup. one of those keeps me good for a couple hours.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
