You have to stop snacking on popcorn, nuts and chocolate. It's not going to be easy, but if you want to lose you need to figure out healthier alternatives.

Get rid of the Snacks that are harming you, and replace them with good Snacks (check out the post "What's in YOUR "snack bag"). Limit the number of snacks you eat each day, and replace some of those times with activity. DO something, ANYTHING to get your mind off it. Keep your hands busy with hobbies. If you don't have one, GET one! Go to a hobby store or craft shop and find what interests you - make it a very enjoyable one, something that is easy to pick up and do, something that intrigues you. And DO it! Any time you want to snack, go get your hobby/craft and work on it. This helps me tremendously. My husband loves N-scale trains, he loves gardening, woodworking, and making things.

Hopefully this will help, I wish you luck!

I find that I snack out of boredom, especially when I sit all day at my desk. Old habits are hard to break! When you want a snack....drink Water, walk around....do some kind of exercise and it will go away. I did a 48 hour pouch test when my snacking and grazing got out of hand. I went back to basics and drank liquids for 48 hours. This helps eliminate the carbs and all of the cravings. It also helps you feel the tightness of your pouch again. Good Luck....you can do this and reach your goal. I'm not where I want to be but I will get there and you can too!

      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.
