Snacking



Recommended Posts

Hey when you guys have a snack between meals like a Protein Bar or something. Do you wait the half hour then eat the snack and wait a half hour?

Yep, I do. But it's only a snack in the am and one in the pm.

If I waited 30 mins either side of my old style snacking, I be one dehydrated mofo!

Just say no...unless you aren't getting in enough nutrition/protein. Me, I put on weight "snacking". Hence I steal Mrs. Reagan's words...Just say no.

Was that when big Ron would give her a nod and a wink?

I eat 6 times a day as directed and told not to graze.

Foe me, grazing is mindless eating. My meals are planned.

Me too Deano :) I try to have six meals per day - in this heat though, I am lucky to get two in...but in theory, I'm supposed to have six small meals a day (as directed by my surgeon).

Hello! I'm so used to seeing you on 'our thread', seeing you here is like bumping into someone where you don't expect to see them :) :)

LOL yep :) I haven't weighed this week though - was going to this afternoon but spent it in ED/ XRAY getting my nephew's foot fixed after what he tells me was an "awesome" leap off the picnic table at summer camp. Apparently the landing wasn't quite as awesome :) So I am hoping it's a little close to 110 :)

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
