Corn chips and crackers



Recommended Posts

Corn chips may be a trigger food. I would pass them up.

I am allowed crunchy food now. I found some lentil crackers at home goods and was able to eat a couple and stop. But if I tried corn chips that would just lead to other bad choices.

I need some carbs or I feel foggy and fatigued. I try for good carbs though.

Like I tell my 17 year old daughter when she leaves the house. " make good choices"

Good luck in your choices may they be good ones!

I have actually tried dehydrated cucumber slices. If you have a dehydrator, slice the cucumbers in about 1/8 inch rounds and put them in. When they are done, they have the crunch you are looking for, and they are far better for you than chips or crackers. That's the thing with these cravings, most of the time it's for something we shouldn't be eating. I have found that if you are creative, you can usually find some alternative and healthier. It's all about our choices. Sometimes we do slip, but this is also a learning process. A lot of us are so used to eating whatever we want and however much we want of it. This is a whole new world, and we are in this together!

      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?

      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.
