I'm going to have to go to the store and get some foods that don't need to be refrigerated that I can snack on. I'll get some dry cereal and rice cakes (UGH, I hate them) ... stuff like that
Oh, no, there are a ton of good things that are safe and don't need refrigeration. I love pretzels and applesauce - Mott's Natural comes in 1/2 cup sizes so you don't have to refrigerate it. As for dry cereal, the Chex are pretty tasteless, but I love Corn Pops. You can check out this post for snack ideas and this post for more general food ideas.
Would you be allowed to have a small fridge in your room, like the ones that go in dorm rooms? That would expand your options a LOT.
Would you be comfortable asking family or friends to do a little baking from time to time and bring you something, like one of Heather's breads or one of the breads from the recipe index? It won't keep long without refrigeration (drawback of low fat), so maybe they could keep half and bring you half - the breads are really good so it would definitely be rewarding for them as well as you. For something that will keep and is incredibly yummy, there's Heather's Honey-Glazed Snack Mix.
When you talk to the dietician, see if the home can switch to low-fat mayonnaise. It really would be better for everyone and you might be able to tolerate tuna salad, then.
I hope this helps. Take care.
