Nothing nutritious in them, but I have some of the Ruffles 1/2 calorie made with O'Lean occasionally. I've heard the O'lean doesn't set well with some people, but I don't eat a whole bag of them at once... a handful or so a couple times a week. I've told my NUT I probably won't ever give up chips completely, but even the amount of chips are limited by my band....now. Everything in moderation. :)

You CAN eat anything, but not everything is good for you. chips are generally empty calories. Try carrot sticks instead. All the crunch, none of the fat!

I found some soy chips that have some Protein as well as Special K brand ones that have a lil protein. Don't have them often and limit to 100 calorie snack but I am at least getting some protein.

Since being banded and as I moved towards the green zone, my taste and interests in certain foods has, (still is) changed...there are some foods I used to love but now have absolutely no taste, therefore no interest in anymore....

chips happen to be one of those foods. If I see them, I 'll grab a few, pop one in my mouth then realize I really don't want it....

Ironically I now eat different types of crackers, all the time......and crackers are just about the only thing in the breads I will eat anymore.

yummy crunchy/salty chips....do you know how many bags of bbq chips i can eat...add in some coors light and we gots a party...highly processed, full of salt, high fat.....a easy/cheap slider food...nothing wrong with having them every so often in wee amounts (tara was right with the 100 cal packs).. but like my grammy said, pieces of fruit/veggies are a better option....

You can make homemade baked zucchini chips! I found a great recipe on pinterest. Season them however you like. As long as you make the slices small enough, they bake up nice and crispy and are great with dips!

I buy the special K cracker chips, and have half a serving if I'm needing a chip fix. One serving is 27 chips , so half is perfect for me. I usually include them as part of a meal, and will top them with chicken or tuna salad.< /p>

Maybe it's the salt you r craving not the chip have you tried saltine crackers they give you the crunch you need and the salt you crave

I don't see why not if you can limit yourself to a very small amount, my belief is if you crave something ( good or bad) just have a small amount and be done with it otherwise you will cave in in a not so good way if you constantly crave a food then overdo it.

I've eaten probably a handful in the ten months I've been banded and they weren't as good as I remembered.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
