Alright guys I am starting to get very bored of eating the same things all the time. I am really good at sitting down for my three meals but have been told I need to be eating more and making an effort to get those couple Snacks in for the added nutrients. What are some go to snacks and foods in general you guys like?

I wish I liked Jello. Texture makes me gag. Always has. eggs make me sick since surgery. So strange no matter how they are prepared. I can do egg beaters though. cheese is one of my main things I eat. I probably eat to much to be honest. I know I need to start eating more of a variety. I just get so anxious about choosing something that’ll make me sick but I know I need to venture out.

Thanks! Yes those are some good ones. I love Peanut Butter. I get an almond one that’s really good.

Somebody else said they mixed cottage cheese and a small spoonful of sugar free strawberry jelly or jam, made them think of strawberry cheesecake, come to think of it I have some sugar free blackberry from Smuckers, bet that might also be good. They may even make a blueberry and a red raspberry, I'm pretty sure of the red raspberry. Walmart even has house brand sf jelly, maybe I've given myself a good idea. Anybody hear the ding when the light lit in my head?

Almonds, cheese, homemade cheese crisps or parm crisps (easy recipe, just google it). You can do a homemade guacamole dip, homemade yogurt/spinach dip or homemade hummus to dip the cheese crisps in...yum! Also, keep cut up fresh veggies on hand such as baby carrots, snap peas, red peppers, cucumbers...great by themselves or in dips. Nice, fresh, crunchy Snacks that are good for you if you are already caught up on your Protein for the day. The cheese crisps, of course, have some protein. Also, greek, lower carb-low sugar yogurt. Plain yogurt with stevia, throw in some almonds or a few blueberries..delicious! I second the deviled eggs.

Some good suggestions from others here.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
