I was sleeved January 14th and I have been perfect! I hadnt cheated or had the urge to eat anything I wasn't supposed to. Then this weekend arrived I have had potato chips, Cheetos and a cupcake. I have lost 55 pounds

And I feel like I am going to gain it all back! Granted it has only been a couple times, but this is what got me here in the first place. Any crispy foods out there that we can eat? I hate pork skins just to out that our there.

Just want to say I know what your feeling!! I just went through this myself! Same type things but it was like 3 days of it!!!! Trying to get on track again

Maybe fruit/veggies or soy nuts are way good

I like roasted edamame! Very crunchy and good Protein. There's a brand called Seapoint Farms I but at Kroger that's excellent.

One of my favorite crunchy Snacks.

Faux cheese Nips

Take one Kraft single - Sharp Cheddar is my favorite

slice it into 16 little squares

place on a piece of parchment paper

nuke in the microwave for about 50 seconds until puffed - will come out crunchy

60 cal, 4 Protein, 2 carb, 4.5 fat - 100%satisfying.

Don't use real cheese, don't use anything other than parchment, must use the micro - otherwise you get something completely different.

I get veggie chips, they are sold by regular chips and are wayyyy better on carbs. single serve bags are (per bag) 130 calories, 7g fat, 10 carbs and 1g Protein. And considering post-sleeve you can probably only eat 1/4 of the bag, that's not too shabby when compared to cheetos and potato chips.

They make these in chips or straw form - both are good. The chips remind me of munchos, if you've ever had those. :)

I had green bean chips the other day, which were actually really good. They were crunchy & salty & delish...but also pretty expensive for the amount in the bag. I haven't looked yet, but there's got to be some directions out there for making them at home. I've also made kale chips several times, and they're also a great hit of crunchy, salty yumminess.

As long as you know what you have to do to get back on track you'll be fine, you can't beat yourself up. You can't eat anywhere near as what you used to I'm sure so just get your mind right and get back on the weightloss train! We're not perfect, were human and will make mistakes, just try and make better choices next time...you got this :)

Thanks guys! Sometimes I just need to hear it will all be ok. I feel like my friends and family truly don't see the struggle, and if they do they feel as though I did this to myself.

I've been dying to try kale chips! How do you make them?

PixieDust, it's super easy! Set the oven low, around 275 or 300. Rip the kale off the rib/stem & tear the leaves into chip-sized pieces. Put the pieces in a bowl & drizzle in a little olive oil. I take a minute to kind of rub the oil on each of the pieces, since kale is really curly with lots of crevices. Toss with a little sea salt & spread out on a baking sheet. Bake for about 20 min until crispy. They're more fragile than potato chips, but they sure are yummy!

I LOVE planters deluxe nuts. They are salty and crunchy and one serving does the trick for me. It's only 3-5 net carbs depending on the variety you pick. And they are easy to take along.

I am on a kale chip binge this week! Lol I just made them for the first time last week and love them!! I was missing crunchy/salty since I've been dieting leading up to pre-op diet and surgery, and the kale chips nailed it. And they're so low in calories.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
