Just curious to see what everyone's favorite go to snack is after surgery. Be honest now !!

Mine as bad as it may sound is Special K Cracker Chips - I have them every now and then just to satisfy that salt craving with a crunchy bite.

I do not snack. I call them meals. I eat 6-7 times a day. Small meals.

here is what I eat as "meals on the go"
protein bars
nuts with some fruits
veggie crisps +cheese
string cheese
baby bell cheese
home made protein cookies and muffins (low carb)
pork rinds. ( yea- they are good. Full of proteins, lower fat than some cheese or nuts, no carbs)

sure... but it is aquired taste. And you need to try and make sure it tastes right for you.
I use all natural stuff - but you can use splenda if you tolerate that. The protein powder I use is all natural - whey Isolate, yields 25 gr of proteins, 1 carb, in one scoup. 103 cal.

I leave the cokies out to dry - so I can carry them in my car or purse. In moist - need to be kept in a fridge. They do come out a bit dry... but that is normal for "protein cookies"
Make 1/2 to try.
Try the batter - if the batter do not taste good - the cookies will not either.

Low Carb Dark Chocolate PB Protein Cookies

1 Scoop About Time Peanut Butter Protein

1 Scoop Chocolate Protein ( i use 2 scoups)

1 Cup Canned Pumpkin

1/2 -1 Cup Liquid Egg Whites

1 Cup Natural PB ( no sugar added, no oil added)

½ Cup Unsweetened Dark Chocolate Cocoa Powder ( regular cocoa will do)

½ Cup Flaxseed (meal - ground flaxseed))

Stevia to Taste (1 Tbs)

1 tsp Baking Powder

Pre-Heat Oven to 350 Degrees

Mix all ingredients together in a large mixing bowl. Drop by the tablespoon on to a cookie sheet lined with foil or sprayed with non-stick cooking spray.

Bake for about 10 minutes or until firm.

Makes About 24 Cookies.

Nutrition Information Per Cookie: ( for my cookie- but add all up for your cookie)

Salty - roasted edamame or soy crisps (love the ranch flavor!)

Chewy - string cheese (I do not string it, I just eat it like a regular cheese stick)

Sweet - a sf/ff pudding cup (chocolate and I add a bit of cinnamon and top with ff whipped cream)

I'm not really much of a snacker. Never was, even pre-op.
I like to make a two-portion meal and spend 2-3 hours eating it.

But if I'm going to grab something quick, I like :
- Lite babybel cheeses
- Deli meat roll-ups
- A few spoonfuls of lentil salad
- Fresh fruit
- Olives and pickles
- Atkins snack bars (the sugar alchols make me super burpy, though, so those I limit)
- Sugar free pudding or jello cups

Oh! And my FAVORITE on-the-go treat is a decaf, sugarfree, nonfat iced mocha from Kaldis. SO good. I usually treat myself to one while I grocery shop.

I've been scared to try pickles. Your pouch handles the skin fine?

Oh yeah. I just chew real thoroughly.
I've been eating a lot of green grapes recently, too. Those haven't been an issue, either. I was more concerned about those than the pickles.
