Before surgery I was obsessed with chips, now I can't have them because what would be the point of having this major surgery??? But do you guys have anything good I can try out??

my favorite for a "crunchy" snack (not right now though, but I did these before my surgery 7/23) is to take a saucer, spray it with PAM, put a piece of cheese on it and NUKE it in the microwave for a minute. Then take it out, let it cool a few seconds and whalah, a crunchy cheesy snack!

cheese. There are lots of different cheeses. I keep tasting new ones and either add them to my list of foods I love or vow to never again eat the ones I don't like. I don't use crackers or anything else to put them on, just cheese.

you can NUKE Turkey Pepperoni's too, just place them on a paper towel instead! YUM, good Protein snack.

I like cheese Snacks. For crunchy stuff, I tried the Protein chips that you can get online. Each package has about 10 grams of Protein. The taste isn't great, but it takes care of the crunch craving.

I also like nuts although not a lot of them. Almonds are good.

I'm not very into nutrition, i just know briefly what's good enough to have, and what's not.

So far, i've snacked on diabetic digestive biscuits, or my all time favorite, unsalted baked almonds, or boiled edamame Beans, or gabanzo beans.. etc

I heard the Beans give you lots of gas, but i don't have problems with them, and they fill me up quickly.

Also, high Calcium milk half a mug at night before i sleep, keeps me sleeping, otherwise, i might wake up in the middle of the night HUNGRY! :)

If I'm doing anything wrong, please let me know. so far i'm losing steadily, but i'm happy, i just broke a 2 months stall!!

all is well and is looking good though..

Good Luck to all!! yay us!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
