What are you turning to when you are looking to eat something with CRUNCH? I have had issues with some raw veggies, so not sure that is a good option for me. I am usually content with pretty much whatever I eat however, I find myself wanting to really crunch something every now & then.

I eat almonds. I also will eat a saltine with PB on it.

I make "cheese" crackers. 275 degree oven, break slices of cheese into smaller pieces, put on parchment paper and bake for 20 minutes. Makes the cheese crunchy like a cracker. You can bake longer if you want them crunchier. Protein and crunch all in one.

I've used cheddar, swiss, havarti, colby jack.

I've made the baked cheese too. 1 tsp of whatever kind you like baked on parchment paper for 7-10 mins at 350. Makes great dip for hummus.

I'm not into the regular food phase yet, but I would say celery with some PB2, carrots, apples, and almonds. I have tried the ice chips as suggested above, and that is working for now (while at this phase).

Quinoa chips!!! They're REALLY good, as good as regular chips and 9 grams of Protein and 130 calories. I found them last week at Burlington Coat Factory (I know, random) and I'm glad I tried them. Haven't looked for them in the grocery store yet but I'm betting on them not being too hard to find.

Yes the quinoa chips are good and I found lentil ones at costco the other day and they are yummy!

Dried/dehydrated veggies (beets, zucchini, carrots), fresh veggies, Quest makes Protein chips (not my favorite).

      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.
