Sorry, FrouFrou--I was mistaken. I bought most of them on Bariatric Pal, not Bariatric Advantage, which doesn't have many snacky things.

However, I got my favorites on Amazon:

Thanks so much! I will check them out - it's nice to have recommendations.

One thing I really miss are crackers. I'm on the hunt.

Anyone still having problems drinking Water? I have had this problem since day one. I can drink tea, wine, (well that’s mostly what I drink is tea and wine). But water... is rough

[froufrou 678]

No, but I think sleeve is worse than RNY.

If you are looking for a meat snack, you can get really good cheese sticks wrapped in proscuitto at various places. I buy them in a pack at Target in their cold section by the cheese. I also buy small packs of avocado toast packets there and bring them to work. I read the reviews on some of the Protein Snacks on Amazon....do you have a favorite flavor? A wonder if they have a blech aftertaste or taste like Styrofoam?

I'm also looking for a low-carb cracker to each pimento cheese dip with. The tortillas (Tostido lime) are a terrible option as they are high in carbs.

One low carb option to chips is Pork rinds.
I love dipping pork rinds in hummus for a tasty and crunchy snack

[froufrou 678]

I'm vegetarian, so unfortunately that's no good for me. I just had a bowl of salad to help fill me up before bed. From about 7-9pm I get so snacky!

No, but then again I’ve pretty much been able to drink Water since week 1.

I’m to the point now where I can chug up to 8 ounces at once, but my sleeve still fills fast with food.
I drink coffee with milk almost every morning and I drink milk and water.
That’s almost exclusively what I have unless I add some Gatorade zero to my waters when I start to get muscle cramps.

Down a pound this morning. I logged everything I ate yesterday and it was around 850. It's great to see the scale moving in the right direction! Evenings though are TOUGH with my hunger. Does anyone have any good ideas for non meat Snacks I can have? (Not keen on cottage cheese or any kind of Gelatin products).

I've tried the nacho cheese Quest chips and the were pretty good. I got them at GNC. Good luck! It's getting trying to lose weight at this point.

My weight loss has stopped. It’s over. I’m going to have to start working out. What a tragedy.

I will have to try this because I can eat the hell out of some pork rinds. And I love beef Jerky too. Those are some of my go to’s. Never thought of doing the Hummus pork rind combo. Interesting!

I don’t know what it is but the second I drink water it feels like so harsh. It’s difficult to drink it it’s sort of hurts my stomach. Very strange. If I mix in Crystal lite it’s Better. I don’t know why I know other people have this problem too but I wouldn’t think for six months.

Your drink choices are so much better than mine! Milk, water, Gatorade. I am drinking unsweet tea and wine five nights a week

That’s me too. I am a night eater. I have a hard time drinking and eating first thing in the morning usually. However this morning I ate three ears of corn! I probably could’ve eaten 4. They were small cobbs but still....

[Everything 388]

Oops.

[Everything 388]

I never eat sweets but I can’t stop with these Cookies. It’s like my appetite has come back in full force and beyond. The good thing is the restriction is still there. If I eat meals I can’t eat very much but the snacking... oh the snacking!

[Everything 388]

I hope y’all are enjoying my play-by-play on what I’m eating, thinking and feeling today. So now besides the coffee and Creamer, one Italian wedding cookie, and one and a half ears of corn, I am eating leftover steak. Maybe this will finally fill me up!
