I've gotten into a snacking binge. 2 mini ice cream sandwiches, string cheese, granola. I do Protein Shakes and milk and yogurt for Protein. Still losing every week but I know I'm eating wrong. And healthy and easy snack/dinner suggestions??

Original weight 298, Pre Op 273, Current 214.5 GW 160.

You can do this! We all can. I'm still a newbie but I'm really strict about mealtimes.that's my eating time.do you think you're bored? Check the site before you snack.chat for awhile. Ask someone to message you. You got this!

We all fall into that trap. We eat what our pouches allow and ultimately choose wrong items from time to time.

When I hit that stage I looked at my goals sheet I made pre op. I had not hit them all yet and that helped me refocus. I also found that when I stray from my daily routine I snack more. Today I overslept and I did not take my lunch. Today I ate bad. Worst thing you can do right now is beat yourself up over it. Get refocused and you will succeed.

Personal note I just went through this and I jut had to remember I had not reached all my goals. Then I had to put on my big girl panties and do what was right.

Hang in there you can do it!!!!

I started liking the Special K Cracker chips. They are really tasty and filling. Good as a small ocasional snack only, IMO.

Some other members mentioned hummus. I have never had it before but now I am curious.

I am middle eastern and hummus is a staple for me post surgery so is falafel. They are both made from chick peas and super healthy.

Hummus is delicious! I love the spicy varieties. If I can't find the spicy one I mix in my own jalapeños or any hot peppers I can find. Yummy!

I tried falafel once and didn't care for it. But perhaps trying it for the first time at a grocery store salad bar was the problem, not the falafel itself. It might be time to try a more fresh and authentic version. :-)

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
