[branton824 2]

Just wanted to hear from my fellow december sleevers and see how you were doing. I want to make sure im on the right track! I had my surgery on dec 14th. I weighed 312 and i am now down to 250...62 lbs! I am having a hard time finding things to snack on, what are your go to Snacks? ?

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.
