Ok so, Im getting sleeved in a week from today..My biggest problem is that I snack during the day..I have an office position which has me chained to a desk for 8 hrs. This has been my biggest problem. Obviously I have stopped doing this prior to surgery so my mind is right but Im afraid of old habits resurfacing after surgery. Are there any healthy snacks you guys can recommend after Im all healed? If I never ate a sugary treat the rest of life, id be fine with it, its the salty treats that do it in for me! ugh! Please help! Thanks!

I used to be a snacker as well but I have no desire to snack mindlessly now. I barely get hungry and if its not meal time, Im sipping water so that takes the place of any snacking I might do. I hope your snacking desire gets taken away like the majority of your tummy

I am a snacker too so i always make sure to have something on hand.... here are a few of my favorites...I do the baby bell light cheese, cashews (4mos out), a slice of lunch meat, cottage cheese, yogurt, 1/2 hard boiled egg, edamame.... Hope some of these might help!

thanks guys!!!! big help! Im really hoping once the surgery is over and the hunger glad is removed..things will improve. Im actually looking forward to working out hahahahh go figure! thanks for the advice

I enjoy turkey jerky or tenderbites jerky for a snack.

Jerky, seaweed, crunchy edemine (sp?) anything with Protein in it. Cheese, Greek yogurt.

Oh agreed! Can't forget the jerky!

my surgeon told me post op snacking is ok. you will only be able to eat really small portions at a time. drink lots of water and pick healthy snacks that follow your eating regimen post op.

Jerky? how cool, I love jerky! didn't think your body would be able to tolerate that but its good to know.Turkey jerky or beef jerky?and thanks guys!

May I suggest these? They are actually quite good.

thanks very much!!!! I will give it a shot
