Question:
I'm down about 33lbs and doing good. What is a good snack food like chips?
I need to find a good snack that will take the place of potatoe chips. How are you all doing? Have some family situations for a while, and that left no time to read or write messages. Good to be back. — Toby2 (posted on October 30, 2008)

Dry roasted soy beans have 34gms protein in 1/2 cup.

i know this is going to sound really stupid, but i love carrotts and
celery. i think it is the crunch that satisfies the chip craving. (i am
not a recovering wls patient, but i try to eat healthy). try it, the baby
carrots have a lot of flavor, and i just like celery...good luck

Try lesser evil's krinkle sticks - they come in original, sour cream and
onion, and pizza. They don't have them near me but you can order from their
site. The pizza ones are the only ones I've tried and are good!

Although you must be super careful of these types of items...The soy crisps
are very good...air popped popcorn is also good if your surgeon OKs
it...The 10 calorie packs of snack foods are good to keep you on good
behavior if these items are a problem food...
By all means no one is perfect, but these items are usually what got us to
the surgeons office in the first place...My husband can eat an immense
amount of these snack foods they are empty calories and add up darn
fast...I have just started seeing a therapist to get in motion of changing
these eating habits for good while I have the restriction and the
control...Maybe not a bad idea to change your thoughts and habits on these
food rather than trying to find an alternate, may help you more in the long
run...Just a suggestion and good luck on your weight loss journey what ever
path you follow.

Baked Cheese. Any kind you like, muenster (turns brown when you bake it -
you might think it's burnt but it's not) is very good, and so is parmesan.
Bake at 350 for 20 min. Place cheese slices or sprinkles on top of
parchment paper in a pan. The cheese bakes up real crisp and totally
satisfies the 'crunch' craving.
*I have also cooked parmesan cheese (grated, right out of the bottle) in
the microwave and it turns out delicious. Just sprinkle the cheese on a
plate and nuke for about 40 seconds - give or take depending on your
microwave! Instant, fabulous snack in less than a minute! ^_^

I do a big spoonful of crunchy peanut butter. It satisfies my sweet and
salty urges! Good luck.

I found the Smart Forme Soy Snacks (Ranch Flavor) to be quite good....
they're only 120 cal, 3.5 fat, 410 sodium, 0 fiber, 15 protein, 8 carbs, 0
cholesterol... They're tiny little things, the size of coco puffs cereal
or smaller, but they're very flavorful and crunchy.

I just bought a few items from bariatricchoice.com. Protien puffs and soy
chips in cheddar cheese flavor are good.

Hey there Nevalle, it has been awhile. You ok?
Try looking for things on Genisoy or livinglavidalowcarb.com.
I try to be careful about having these things or protein bars in the house
because they are too yummy. My biggest problems before WLS were popcorn
and chocolate- crunchy and sweet. The replacements are good and sometimes
I can't control myself.
Good luck,

Turkey pepperoni chips. Microwave the pepperoni until nice and crispy. (
About 2-2.5 minutes) Nice alternative to chips and full of protein!

Try green pea snacks from clarksnutrition.com They're cruncy and high in
protein! Taste like corn nuts.

Every surgeon has their own program but my md and dietician told me that to
lose wt was to stick to only 3 meals a day without snacking. Be careful
what you choose as you have gone through alot and don't want to have wt
loss problems again in the future.
