Welchs Fruit Snacks



Recommended Posts

I am addicted to welchs fruit Snacks these fruit chews go right thru my band and I can't seem to stop eating them. Has anyone else had them? Do you think I need more restriction to help with this compulsion?

I have just recently had them and they are good! But at 80 calories or so a little bag, just not worth it to eat too many! What I have learned, and the hard way, is that the band is not about restriction for me. Maybe that works for a lot of people, but not for me. I have suffered being too tight and having to wait to be seen to have some Fluid removed. I never want to go through that again. So, I have accepted that I have to rely more on willpower than restriction . And believe me, I battle the food demons in my head all the time!! No matter the amount of restriction, chocolate can always go down just fine for me!

Those are good. Maybe you should not have ever tried them, being that you already have a band looks like you would be looking for something better for yourself to eat..Things like those are, (if you are like me) probly why you needed the band in the first place.

I hope you find away to kick them before they become a habit for you.

Just because you have the band doesn't mean you are always going to make the right choices. Sometimes I wish the band was around my head as well!

Oh i did not mean it that way. I was just saying if you already had the band why would you want to try another type of the same items that caused you to need the band in the first place. I understand that you would want things that you already have had before since you already know how good they taste but to try something else like those items will I dont understand because you know if you like it you will only want more and more.

      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.
