I get to work at around 6:30 AM, so even though I have a great, high-protein breakfast (for example, a sunny-side-up egg dropped over a leftover piece of meat loaf), by 9AM my stomach lets me know that it is hungry. I snack at my desk from about 8:30 to 10:00 AM. Examples: cashew nuts, a piece of fruit, part of a protein bar, jerky, Japanese miso soup -- of course, not all these things every day. Also, when I get home from work, I sometimes take a small snack (~4PM) along with my afternoon pills (ADEK, Calcium, Actigall). Examples: a piece of cheese on a cracker, a handful of cashew nuts (pistachios seem to mess with my insides--gas, oil, runs). Crystal Light or apple juice. Finally, after dinner, I might take a small snack while watching TV (e.g., 2 TBS of ice cream) Amounts are generally much less than I would have eaten pre-op. --Steve -- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
