Today I've been figuring out what to do about my diet cuz frankly all I have been eating is chicken broth, ramen soup, mashed potatoes and brownies. the roids make me hungry 24/7 and I'm extremely broke at the moment because of buying Christmas presents so I can't grocery shop for at least another week when I get my paycheck. I am at the mercy of whatever my dad buys which consists mostly of things I can't have. I get so frustrated cuz what can I snack on that won't fatten me up but is conducive to a low fiber/residue diet? I'm at 140lbs now so I'd rather nip it in the bud sooner than later. its a slippery slope!. I was always overweight before I got sick, I was 155-160 all throughout high school and then dropped to 87lbs at my sickest in '09. then in march, right before this last flare up, I was back to 160 cuz I was in remission and went crazy after starving for so long. I lost my appetite though when I started flaring again so I was 134 when I got out of the hospital 3 weeks ago which was only 10lbs away from my perfect weight (I'm 5'2") I want to feel good AND I want to look good as well. what do you guys do?? I've been thinking about finding a yoga class or something, I'm dreadfully out of shape and my joints are extremely sensitive. this really sucks. all The suffering I went through, at least I was finally thin, that's the only positive I've found in this whole experience. anything under 120 though and I looked like the crypt keeper, same hair and everything! Bah, What to do!?
What do you snack on!?

Pretzels!
I just don't eat many. My favorite is butter checkers.
I ate Melba toast after my first surgery. My mom and grandma were so mad because I'd eat tons but there were no calories in them I guess. They were or still are little toast crispy things. Probably nothing you like but snack in great moderation something that makes you smile.

Mmm pretzels! thanks! I've never had Melba toast I'll have to try it.
I've found that organic Greek yogurt and honey is a really good replacement for all the sweet things I can't have, I have at least one serving a day and I'd like to think all the good bacteria is helping. Definitely makes me feel better than when I eat chocolate or biscuits!
Pretzels and crackers are good savouries too, maybe with a little hummus or peanut butter if you can handle it?

Pretzels and Chex cereals, especially the rice chex. You can sprinkle seasonings on them for variety, including sugar and cinnamon.

since im allergic to wheat but not gluten i like to eat oatmeal cookies and just about anything with rice in it or a mixture of rice and potato and chickpea flower. I love the pretzels. I have found that eating rice, just plain white rice (i get the organic kind grown in texas) fills you up and is rather good for you and is low res too. You can spice it up with whatever you want really sans cheese(that is fattening lol). Also, try hard candy like peppermints or butterscotch or cinnamon. That stuff works too as you have some flavor in your mouth and they are low in calories.
healthy snack!
I love mashed potatoes, it's healthy and yet nutritious snack for me. I enjoyed it with organic Greek yogurt and honey. Yum yum!!!

Honey nut cheerieos is my go to snack food. It's not 100% a safe food for me, but better than the alternatives. Pretzels are also good. Although, I wouldn't consider either low res.

Don't really snack much. When I was on Pred though, I'd go for some baked chips/crackers & quite often I'd be drinking my work's version of boost.
