a snack for those of us allergic to fish - but can eat shell fish

hey there ---
some of you were posting snack ideas for the 'on-the-go' type of person. however, most of them pointed towards tuna snacks. alas, i am anaphylactic to all things fish so even though the ideas were fantastic, i was left in the lurch.
my friend reminded me that canned chicken and shellfi****ems are available. i went to check them out and picked up a couple cans of shredded crab meat and chicken. now, they do require some serious seasoning to make them palpable, but i was actually able to come up with something half decent with the crab meat. check it out if you dare:
1 can of crab meat, drained.
1/2 cup of 1% cottage cheese,
Mrs Dash (per taste)
1 close mashed garlic.
I mixed them all together and it tasted quite nice! You can pulse puree it a wee bit if you need a smooth consistancy, but for the most part, with some serious chewing, it went down ok. along with 1 melba toast and it totally satisfied me for lunch. i only had just under a tbsp serving with my melba toast and along with the sharp garlic flavour ( i LOVE garlic) it has really satisfied me.
]crab meat has a decent amount of protein in it per serving as well - along with the cottage cheese and it is a pretty decent meal option.
God knows i need more meal ideas. i am always on the go and seem dumbfounded to think of recipies to prepare ahead of time. i think i will ask santa for a bariatric cook book for Christmas. :)
I hope I remember this one... sounds good!

I have cut and pasted this in my file...thank you - many I'd kill for some of that right now!
One book that was suggest on here that I bought was - The complete weight-loss surgery guide & diet program - written by Sue Ekserci, RD w/Dr Laz Klein, MD - they also worked with the folks at HRRH.
I like it a lot. Half the book is about WLS nutrition etc. Second part has 150 recipies...i got it on amazon.
