I guess the best way to stop is not to buy those things. You are right, chips are always easy to eat. They were never my big thing, so I probably don't have the attraction to them that some people do. I love ice cream. I've just had to quit buying it. Do you need a fill? Cindy

We don't buy snack items and if we do it's like once a month. My house (food wise) is pretty bare and it really helps me stay on track.

Best of luck to you!

Yeah those nasty crackers and chips go down way to easy, even slow.

My problem is I can't stop at 1 portion so I try not to have any at all. Last week I was eating gold fish crackers and said to myself OMG this has got to stop. So far this week I haven't had any.

Hey !! if you need to snack how about a cup of Soup or a hot cup of tea, diet coco mix, something like that. Alot of times we're not really hungry but want something.

Good luck !!

DANG chips !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love to snack... I just try to snack on better things.. like carrots or celery. I have to have chips and stuff in the house for my husband.. but I rearly try them. So if you can stay away from buying them I would.. Make yourself a veggie snacking tray.. It makes you feel speical and you get to snack.

I just dont keep things in the house that I will eat. I bake for the kids in small batches, time it for right before they get home from school and let them go. I have to use my willpower for a short period of time but odds are they'll polish off the lot, if they dont its straight in the bin.

I can keep chips and ice cream for them because neither of those do anything for me. But I cannot keep biscuits, cakes, muffins, nuts, fancy cheeses or anything like that in the house. And I only bake basic butter cake or basic Cookies for the kids, nothing too attractive. If I made a carrot cake I'd eat the lot by myself!

I am not a great one to give advice on snacking on the right thing. I have a MAJOR problem with chocolate. I am not too bad with other snackey stuff. I find that almonds or the fruit and nut mixes are good for snacking on. As for bread I could eat that easily up until 2 fills ago...now I can osrt of eat it if I take my time and be careful but I dont find it worth it so I dont.

My mom who is also banded eats bread, she had gravy over a biscuit for lunch the other day, I almost choked just thinking about eating bread. I haven't had bread since I was banded, boy would a great big juicy cheeseburger be good. Sometimes I want to go to the doctor and have my fill taken out for 24 hours so I can enjoy food like I use to, but then I would never do that, hummmm, maybe over Thanksgiving, LOL.

Soup is my biggest companion now. Speaking of which, has anyone tried that new package at costco, it's three boxes of soup, ready to pour, then after opening it keeps in the fridge for a while, like a mini milk carton.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
