Snacks

[Guest guest]

There, I said it, that nasty " S " word... I know I'm a newbie Grad and

probably pushing it

I would like some feedback on what ya'll eat for snacks/mini-meals. I

will share with you some of the things I do. Bear in mind though that

I do eat some dairy, I just don't drink milk or add it to my protein

shakes. Some snacks I do eat: Blue Bunny Lite 85 yogurt, cheese, nuts

(almonds mostly), cottage cheese, apples (sometimes with p'nut

butter), Quaker Quakes Caramel Corn (this is my PMS crunchy craving

food). The big one I've become addicted to is graham crackers. When I

am really bad I have Philly Cheesecake flavor cream cheese on it.

Gotta keep that stuff outta the house!

Help me! I'm so weak sometimes! Those graham crackers call my name, I

swear!

For mealtime when I fix food for my non-WLS DH, I have chicken, steak

or pork chops, or roast of some type, a spoon of taters, a couple

spoons of veggies (peas or green beans usually, occasional carrots).

I don't eat bread, pasta or rice....fills me too fast and makes the

pouch grouchy. Just kinda lays there like a lumpy ball of dough, ya'

know. I also can't do ground beef, except in 's chili. Doesn't

matter that I use ground round in meatloaf either, still can't do it.

The protein bar I've been having is Balance Gold, seems to be the

only one I can actually consume regularly...and I've tried a lot

of 'em. Detour bars were tasty but gave me a belly ache. Think the

nuts early on didn't agree with me. Perhaps I should try them again.

OK, thanks for letting me ramble on about the munchies.

Have a great day!
