Question:
6 Weeks Post Op, looking for crunchy, salty snacks.
I am 6 weeks post-op and would like to know what there is that I can snack on? I would like to know if there is any type of a snack like pretzels or baked potatoe chips or something of that nature that I can snack on? — Loretta J. (posted on August 30, 2002)

Try soy nuts! I think they're great. I like the honey roasted kind, but
they have just salted ones, too. I get mine at Albertson's, but I am sure
they have them at other stores too.

hiya
my tastes changed after surgery and especially since for the first few
weeks post op just about everything you eat is sweet!!
pretzels are good but watch drinking with them cuz they swell...baked
potato chips are okay too. be aware of things that are bread/potato based
cuz they will swell. soy nuts and other nuts are a good choice, chew them
well. i liked string cheese and sharp cheddar cheese with ritz crackers.
mashed potatos with butter and seasoned salt was yummy. you can also get
the cup of soups that are good. minestrone soup is good because it's salty
and you get veggies in it that are nice and soft. scrambed or hard boiled
eggs with salt is good and beef or turkey jerky is a handy snack.
good luck!

I like microwave popcorn. It goes down very easily, and usually the ones
with the most butter have the least carbs! I also eat cashews.

Soy crisps are light & crunchy. No fat, no sugars to speak of. 7
flavors, very rich. They are like tiny rice cakes? My current fave is the
cheddar cheese. I'm telling you it tastes like liquid cheese sauce!

I love the Wow Chips or Doritos. But I only get the single size servings
because I can easily graze on a regular size bag all day long. Pretzel rods
are good..lf pop corn...lf Ritz cracker with a thin slice of cheddar cheese
and a dab of mustard..mmmm.

I rotate through different things for my salty/crunchy cravings. I do WOW,
popcorn, peanuts, Genisoy Crisps, Quakes rice cakes, and my latest fav. is
Terra Chips. They are vegetable chips made with exotic vegetables. Very
colorful, salty and some are sweet (sweet potato and batata-cuban sw.
potato). A wonderful mixture. The high fiber in them really keeps me
regular. I have found them at a local grocery store. They are a little
expensive, around $5 a bag, but you can't eat many at a time, and I now
crave them. My husband thinks I'm nuts! (he doesn't like them). They have
a site: www.terrachips.com

Trader Joe's sells Soy Crisps that are heavenly. Each serving has 7-8
grams of protein depending on the flavor. My favorite is White Cheddar,
and I love the Honey Barbeque, too. I also like some ritz crackers or
wheat thins with Boursin, Allouette, or Rondelle cheese on them. That can
really hit the spot and goes down very nicely.
