Happy day for you! I was sleeved on Dec. 17. I weighed 276 and now I'm 245. Sweets are my downfall and I still struggle with cravings almost daily. The better I do with Protein and lots of Water, the easier it is however.

Lately my Snacks have been apples (sometimes with a little peanut butter), these homemade flax and cheese crackers that are low carb, or my pre mixed costco Protein shakes.

I've found that if I have nuts, candy, chips, crackers, etc in the house at all - my cravings for them intensify and are all but impossible to resist at a certain point. I have not binged yet per se, but I have had a few days where I "grazed", which is a very very old and ingrained habit for me.

The first step is naming it!!

Good work you!

Snacks for me in the weight loss phase were usually:

  • cottage cheese
  • light greek yogurt
  • string cheese
  • "meat" sticks (like beef sticks, but with turkey or other lean meats)
  • Protein bars (be VERY careful about the nutrition if you go this route)
  • peanuts (not until 3 months post-op)

Finally broke my stall, I'm doing ok. I eat sugar free Jello and pudding once a day, beef Jerky (natural), and meat. I'm not allowed any grains etc. I'm not going to lie, I am a bit bored.

I have some walnuts/peanuts/sunflower seeds around for desperate snacking. When I'm craving sweets I have some Power Crunch bars in chocolate mint. otherwise I have lunch meat as a snack. I got some really thin sliced pricey lunch meats and I eat two slices, normally wrapped around a little piece of cheese.< /p>

I did get some grapes last week and put them in the freezer for a while so they were really hard and that was the best treat.

      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.
