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!

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
