Really need help..

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??

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 eat hummus for lunch sometimes ..delicious chickpeas dip. I make my own so it has less fat.

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 was thinking of trying tabouleh made with a mixture of quinoa and Bulgar, too.

Tabouleh is amazing but idk if the parsley is good early on. I would be more than happy to give recipes if you want.

[deaddemmama 474]

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. :-)
