I am guilty!!!!!! If I have some it's fritos. As a matter of fact I had some in some chili and cheese about an hour ago...:thumbup:

Strange thing happened after lapband ... I don't really like potatoe chips anymore. I was a big fan before the band, but now ... not so much. YAY! Have to admit though, I linger at the Frito display before walking away. LOL:wink2:

If you really must indulge...look for Pop chips. They're not fried, not baked.. but popped. Much lower in calories than regular and much tastier than baked.

I can find small bags (100 calorie) at Books-a-Million and larger bags at Target.

Pop chips are awesome! I have found that I am able to eat any type of chip but since my band I dont like chocolate anymore and I used to be a chocoahalic....

I used to think the baked potato chips were a good snack. For me they are a problem because I would just eat them all at once. They really don't serve a purpose, just calories with no redeaming value. If you are going to have carbs have an apple or some grapes.

I *love* chips but they don't love me. Not sure how we got this mindset in our society that eating junk food is normal and to not eat it is depriving ourselves but I've decided that I deserve better. Now when I feel in the need for a snack, I'm reaching for a healthy alternative.

I'm only 2 weeks post-op so I haven't even thought of chips yet, but I love Popchips. Amazon has some great deals on Popchips every few months for the individual bags. My whole family enjoys them.

I've always had a weakness for Kettle brand Baked Salt and Vinegar chips. I have only had them once since I was banded and I allowed myself 6 chips. It was enough to kill the craving and didn't seem to affect my weight loss at all. :thumbup:

I like Sun chips Garden Salsa. Only indulge once in a while as I have no will power over them.

I used to buy a packet containing 6 bags of crisps (which is what we call potato chips in England) and eat them all in one go, sometimes as sandwiches with bread and butter and crisps in the sandwiches. Now, although I can eat 6 bags if I want to, it feels uncomfortable. I can feel the crisps just sitting there in the pouch and not going anywhere, which encourages me not to have too many.

      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
