Anything that says generous serving makes me nervous..... Sounds like a snack food which I try to avoid.

Well, they do sell them at my lap band surgeon's office; my nutrionist recommends them; but they are $2.00 for a small bag. They are made for bariatric patients --- these are NOT regular potato chips. I am looking for the best flavor and best value if I am going to buy them

Here's the scoop: reflect on how you became obese...I'd wager to say that snacking and the high calorie foods with next to no nutritional value were a significant part of the journey towards obesity.

You had your WLS to loose weight; if you want to be successful with that goal, you need to avoid maintaining the poor eating behaviors which made you obese. Bandster life is about changing your relationship with food, and adopting a healthier lifestyle, which includes nutritionally sound food choices and exercise, to name a couple.

They make so many "foods" available at the grocery store which assist the individual to believe that they are making progress with lasting weight loss when in fact all they are doing is enabling the individual to maintain their poor choices with food.

You can get "sugar free" chocolate, but it still has calories. Those "protein" chips are, in my opinion, deficient in the protein content. As others have said those chips may even lead you down a slippery slope to return to former snacking habits. Everything we choose to eat needs to deliver big on nutrition...even if they are available at your surgeon's office I would not risk going back to poor eating behaviors.

IMHO...other's mileage may vary...

I guess my point is ... One of the reasons this is working for me is because I have changed my eating habits and I fear healthy or not.... Chips are a slider type food so I would be leery of slipping back to old habits....

But not everyone is a snacker so these might just be perfect for you.

I can just tell by the posts this would be a huge problem for me.

Its like pretzels for me....Im not sure what it is about them that triggers me....but as soon as I see some in the house I fight the urge to snack.....so I sure dont eat any...during the summer I did get a lil bag one day ...I knew I was walking my butt off every day and could get away with a small bag.....but oh no......staying away from saltly snacks for the winter
