Salty Snacks?



Recommended Posts

Hi. I'm 12 days out in full liquids. Doing real well so far except for extreme craving for pretzels or chips. I mean, I just want that crunch and that salt. Any suggestions?

Thanks friends, and happy Thanksgiving!

I've had extreme cravings for the same items, I've been banded for 20days and I'm praying my first fill next week resolves the craving. Try to get your Protein first then measure out a serving size portion and snack slowly on that through out the day. A friend told me to really increase my Water intake and munch on ice chips when craving come. However, I've not be that proactive yet. Good luck and know you're not alone.

Not sure about that if you are in the liquid phase; might want to check out the recipe data base in LabBand.com (LINK: http://www.lapband.com/en/mylapband/recipe_box/browse/)

I remember those couple weeks before the first fill were absolute hell as far as hunger and cravings go. Drink lots of Water and milk. It's hard to do the salt thing on liquids. Only thing I can think of is a teaspoon of crunchy Peanut Butter but please check with your nutritionist or doctor before you try it.

I know I crave salty things tooo. I found these popcorn chips called popcorners I'm addicted to them. They are pretty low in calories or I eat Baked lays which are good.

      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.
