I have a suggestion for a good snack that curbs hunger for me. I buy different flavors of soynuts, break them down into 1/3 cup (140 cal) snack pack servings. I keep them in my purse and they really do fill me up and hold me over. Does not seem to be a "slider" snack at all. I truly feel full.

Mine is those stupid bottled Frappacino's and a snickers while I'm out running errands. If I go to either the grocery store or a gas station, I mindlessly grab that. I'm trying to make sure I take the spouse with me to stop me, but she can't always be there.

lol BgBp, why does there have to be such good food out there?

Those Dunkin lattes are my downfall and the ice coffee, but I resisted today and made my own ice coffee with fat free half & half and tiny bit of Hershey syrup!

Even when thin (if I get there), I know this is something that I know I have to deal with every day, though some days better than others. :glare:

To those wanting to eat everything in site when they get home, I would suggest eating a Protein Bar on the way home...Getting that Protein in will give you some energy and a senes of fullness...so when you do get home your not eating the refrigerator

Rmann,

Thanks for reminding me about the protien bars. Sometimes I forget about those. They do help.

Something I like also is a caramel rice cake with Peanut Butter. They are really yummy. You would think that would choke me, but it does not. lol.

I have Protein Bars at my desk, so I don't feel guilty for an afternoon snack (and the chocolate chip granola ones feel like candy), but for me its...EATING IN THE CAR! Cheese-its (they seem to be popular to all in this thread) or those Ritz toasted crackers like sour cream/onion or cheddar...and sitting at my computer at home...the m&m jar is next to it...so I try hard to just have 2-3, but sometimes it's 2-3 handfulls... meals I'm ok with, and do a Protein Drink in the afternoon.

NfL1,

Isn't it true about the meals, I have nooo problem whatsoever now with eating healthy meals, it's the darn snack monster!

I have said goodbye to those high carolie subs, pizza, etc. but the sweets still call out to me. :grouphug:

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
