I snack on nuts and seeds. Do you have a Trader Joe's near you? Or try any supermarket that has a natural or "wholesome" section. I love the dry roasted edamame for crunch (that's soy beans) and wasabi peas or peanuts for some real eye-opening flavor.

When I'm in need of extra Fiber (ahem), I'll eat a good handful of raisins or dried cranberries. (Trader Joe's also has a faboo selection of dried fruit.)

But I don't snack much anymore. Just now when I got home from work, my stomach is growling pre-dinner. I had a very small handful of pistachio nutmeats and now I'm good to go until dinner. ;)

Well these days if i do feel like snacking i have to actually plan it because i have so little room.I tried the crispy minis and they were good.

We watch the hockey play offs(Senators!!!) and everyone's sitting around munching away...don't want to feel left out but don't want nachos

on my hips either(or my belly,arms, legs,chin.......;) )

Trader Joes is awesome!

They only have stores on the east coast side and they are adding more location see website www.traderjoes.com

I buy meat, cheese, nuts you name it from there. If you have one by you or even a close drive it is so worth going. They have a snack called veggie bootie. It is like eatting chips but better for you. I believe it has 4 to 6 gram prot in 1/2 cup. I like to get the carmel for a snack. It is nice to have every once in a while. I get out a bag and set it out for parties and no one knows it is good for you;)

Almonds are good. I eat popcorn-some don't because they are affaid it might get stuck but as long as you don't shove a whole hand full in your mouth you should be good.

Now that spring is finally here Watermelon is great and very filling.

I read someone was eatting it for Breakfast and tried it myself and boy.. It is so good and filling.

I know they make a high protien pretzel too. They are filling- my doctor told me about them.

You know those nachos are good too as long as you eat more cheese or Beans on them than the chip itself!

Treat yourself!! The band will do its work and let you know if that was a bad idea to eat or not. And if now walk an extra lap around the block before you sit down to watch Tv:}

I hear alot about soy but I think I read somewhere that it could affect the thyroid meds i take.I will have to check it again.

Senators are out of the playoffs so the sitting around and snacking is not that bad(my coworkers is sitting beside me eating a bag of hickorey sticks...shhesh:confused:

      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.
