Depends on if you want to lose weight.

If you want to lose then avoid the chips. If you don't then feel free to eat as many as you want.

Remember there is no LapBand God that say's you can eat this or can't eat that. It is up to you to make smart choices.

I love these. They have Fiber and Protein. I eat the original and I am good with half a serving or less. I never start eating and crave more like most chips.

I just got back off of vacation, since it was vacation and we were traveling I bought a big bag of Screaming Hot Cheetos for myself and BBQ chips for my daughters, I figured by now and with the help of my band I could do Portion Control and I was right, for the first day. Second day not so good. Third day I finished both bags. The band is around my stomach, not my mind. The hunger in my mind is what got me fat in the first place.

So, your question of "can you eat chips", I don't know, can you? I found out I can't and it doesn't have anything to do with my band.

It really depends on what kind of chips you eat. The bean chips have Fiber and Protein so a much better snack then your average grab and go kinds. I bought Special K chips and ate the whole box so I totally understand however I dont have that problem at all with the bean chips and they taste awesome.

Skip the chips...all of them.

They are not filling, do not stave off hunger for a healthy amount of time as a proper snack would do, and are seriously lacking in nutritional value.

IMHO...other's mileage varies...

Never heard of bean chips, but a store not too far from here sells them, I'll give them a try, thanks

I'm with you on this one. Certain foods are trigger foods, and that hand to mouth activity is a setup to fail. I've done that so many times.....start out with a good day, then the next day I go through whatever the food like there's no tomorrow. My suggestion is, if chips are one of your favorite junk foods, stay away! Anything that calls your name & pulls you like a magnet, shouldn't be in your house.

The bean chips to contribute to satisfying my hunger. Again they have both Protein and fiber. Not your average chip!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
