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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
