I guess the best way to stop is not to buy those things. You are right, chips are always easy to eat. They were never my big thing, so I probably don't have the attraction to them that some people do. I love ice cream. I've just had to quit buying it. Do you need a fill? Cindy

We don't buy snack items and if we do it's like once a month. My house (food wise) is pretty bare and it really helps me stay on track.

Best of luck to you!

Yeah those nasty crackers and chips go down way to easy, even slow.

My problem is I can't stop at 1 portion so I try not to have any at all. Last week I was eating gold fish crackers and said to myself OMG this has got to stop. So far this week I haven't had any.

Hey !! if you need to snack how about a cup of Soup or a hot cup of tea, diet coco mix, something like that. Alot of times we're not really hungry but want something.

Good luck !!

DANG chips !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I love to snack... I just try to snack on better things.. like carrots or celery. I have to have chips and stuff in the house for my husband.. but I rearly try them. So if you can stay away from buying them I would.. Make yourself a veggie snacking tray.. It makes you feel speical and you get to snack.

I just dont keep things in the house that I will eat. I bake for the kids in small batches, time it for right before they get home from school and let them go. I have to use my willpower for a short period of time but odds are they'll polish off the lot, if they dont its straight in the bin.

I can keep chips and ice cream for them because neither of those do anything for me. But I cannot keep biscuits, cakes, muffins, nuts, fancy cheeses or anything like that in the house. And I only bake basic butter cake or basic Cookies for the kids, nothing too attractive. If I made a carrot cake I'd eat the lot by myself!

I am not a great one to give advice on snacking on the right thing. I have a MAJOR problem with chocolate. I am not too bad with other snackey stuff. I find that almonds or the fruit and nut mixes are good for snacking on. As for bread I could eat that easily up until 2 fills ago...now I can osrt of eat it if I take my time and be careful but I dont find it worth it so I dont.

My mom who is also banded eats bread, she had gravy over a biscuit for lunch the other day, I almost choked just thinking about eating bread. I haven't had bread since I was banded, boy would a great big juicy cheeseburger be good. Sometimes I want to go to the doctor and have my fill taken out for 24 hours so I can enjoy food like I use to, but then I would never do that, hummmm, maybe over Thanksgiving, LOL.

Soup is my biggest companion now. Speaking of which, has anyone tried that new package at costco, it's three boxes of soup, ready to pour, then after opening it keeps in the fridge for a while, like a mini milk carton.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
