I keep sliced melon and other fruits on hand. I have 3 busy, ravenous kids that demand food all the time. I am 10 weeks post op and find that the fresh fruit is a win for us all.

Try making your own sugar free gummies. It is a box of sf Gelatin and 2 boxes of knox gelatin. Yummy and your kids will like them also!

I buy fresh fruit constantly, chop it up and keep baggies of it at work or in a small cooler in my truck. I also do alot of chopped veggies. I like celery with pb so i get in some protein! I also like the laughing cow cheese wedges, taste deslih with anything :) Hope this helps .

There are some nut and berry combinations that are great as a snack...I always keep a 1/4 of a cup with me at all times.....

Jerky was a fav for me early out. Turkey Jerky from Trader Joes. Tasty and (relatively) easy to digest, for those a few months out.

I keep almonds with me at all times. My doc sells small size Oh Yeah bars. They are a fulfilling snack. :-)

I'm early out so a bit limited but I'm snacking on cottage cheese (the little portable 4 oz cups from break stones), Greek yogurt, and babybels which seem to do okay with no refrigeration for a few days. Occasionally I've done a Quest Protein Bar. These help me hit my Protein goals too

I slice a cucumber, mini sweet peppers, and throw some baby carrots in a baggie...usually make up four at a time. Then I mix a spicy ranch seasoning packet with some fat free sour cream for a dip. I found these little two tablespoon containers and measure out the dip so I can grab and go. Quaker sweet chili mini rice cakes are good when I want crunch. I always have a cranberry almond Protein bar in my purse in case I get caught out somewhere so I won't be tempted to eat something I shouldn't. Oh, and always have 2% string cheese on hand...great snack for 50 calories :)

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
