We have all found products that have helped us along our weight-loss journey. I thought it would be great to share some of our favorites.

I am not a great fan of protein, but Perky Jerky has been my salvation! The meats are low-fat, low-carb, tender and flavorful. Some even come in convenient 1 oz. bags (for under $2) that you can throw in a purse or backpack.

They're having a 4th of July sale and I just bought some and wanted to let the rest of you know about it.

Some of my favorites are well known on this site but I'll share them anyway:

Oikos Triple Zero yogurt

Quest Bars

Premier Protein shakes

Slim Fast Advanced Energy shakes

P3 - turkey/almonds/cheese or chicken/cashews/cheese

Starkist tuna packets - plain, Thai chili, sweet n spicy, bbq

Ezekiel Sprouted Grain bread

Mission Carb Balance tortillas

Quaker rice cakes - plain and chocolate

PB2 plain and chocolate (to put on the rice cakes!)

Halo Top ice cream

One new favorite; Atkins Protein Wafer crisps as a snack. Have 11 grams protein, one of the few I have found which is chocolate- free and chewable even without my dentures. And the flavor is Lemon Vanilla. Maybe someday in the future I can eat Perky Jerky also!

@GreenTealael where do you buy that jerky?

About the only convenience food I use is P3. I think the protein bars and chips taste and smell like old men's socks.

I'm currently loving popsicles sugar free

CHEDDIES! I get them off this website.

NowSports Vanilla Soy Protein off Amazon

Nonfat Great Value cottage cheese

Great Value turkey meatballs with salsa

Butterball turkey patties (just throw them still frozen on the stove, 7 min each side) w/ cheese and hot sauce

It’s hiking season. I’m currently in love with these for trips. Once I can add snacks back in, I‘m sure I’ll be chowing down on them at work.

Trader Joe’s Chili Lime Chicken burgers. 150 calories and delicious.

Al fresco Italian chicken sausage 120 calories

Ice Breaker cinnamon mints help curb my appetite on hungry days.

Mine is more humble. Had bought. Protein 2 0 in mixed berry, found it nasty and vile. Tried cuttting strength with water, skim milk, even bought Minute Made 15 in Fruit Punch, nothing seemed to help. Sat it out in the shed with the lawnmower! Well I noticed they had another tasteable one. Got Tropical Coconut and it I like, well chilled it is smooth going down & don't taste the milk protein in it. So surprise surprise to ME.

Turkey sausage in the tube, tastes just like regular breakfast sausage but without all the fat and calories. So good and lots of protein. Best for is you are farther out on your weight loss journey, not just getting adjusted to solid foods. I also love string cheese lol, and canned chicken. It’s easy and soft and low calorie with lots of protein. Also premier protein shakes are the best!

Looking at the jerky that @Orchids&Dragons recommended now. Trying to see which one has the lowest amount of carbs even though I know jerky is something I used to eat when doing keto before surgery.

They definitely sound DELICIOUS, the protein is awesome and the calories are low enough!

My youngest daughter and I..even though we never exercised (well, I swam) before my WLS, are doing what we have learned is basically called 'day hiking'. I'd like to have something I can put in our little pack to take with us and I think @AngieBear also mentioned putting some type of snack like this in as she was going hiking.

I need to follow this thread as it has given me so many ideas. I'm getting a little tired of the same 4 to 5 things..lol

You guys are so awesome. Such amazing ideas and willingness to share!!
