Favorite after Gastric Bypass Surgery Snacks

I decided to compile a list of Favorite after Gastric Bypass Surgery Snacks that I myself and others are enjoying now. This list is very useful for those looking for some ideas when you may have the munchies after surgery.

I have recently asked on a couple of the Gastric Bypass Forums the question: What is your favorite go to snack after Gastric Bypass Surgery? The response has been great and the variety of things others are snacking on has helped give me some ideas that I did not even think about.

So I thought I would make a list of those things and post them here for everyone to see. If you have a favorite after surgery snack that is not on list, let me know about it by commenting below and I will continue to grow the list.

NOTE: Always follow your diet plan from your surgeon and if one of the items on the list is something you are not sure if you can have – Ask First. The people who have answered the question are at all different stages in their post op. Remember to not over do the snacks at any stage, but have them in moderation.

Snacking Tips:

• Make sure you are not snacking from Head Hunger
• Always measure your proportions and not eat from the box
• Be careful of mindless eating in front of the TV and Computer
