Hi All,

I'm 3 months post op and I am having serious cravings for frackers and chip. Does anyone have any recommendations for replacements good for that crunchy, salty texture?

Thanks

I eat roasted Broad Beans by Enlightened. I think the BP store sells them although I get them from my local grocery store. Very hard to eat more than you should, they fill you up pretty fast and I'm 4 months post.

I actually like the Wheat Thin Cracker chips when I'm feeling a little crunch. The veggie one is really good. I usually eat about 6 or so with some cheese for a snack.

Quest chips. Salt and Vinegar are delicious. They are Protein, and almost no carbs.

To satisfy that salty and crunchy craving, I sometimes turn to Trader Joe's Oven-Baked cheese Crisps. There are no carbs and 15g of Protein per serving! An amazing option. I take them to the movies as a popcorn replacement.

Good luck!

I ordered this with my bimonthly shipment of Vitamins and I am excited about them. A bit concerned that each bag has three servings, but I'll deal. Thanks for the suggestion. I wanted to get the garlic ones but they were sold out, so I got the mesquite ones.

That's a great idea I'm filing this for future reference! X

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
