I've gotten into a snacking binge. 2 mini ice cream sandwiches, string cheese, granola. I do Protein Shakes and milk and yogurt for Protein. Still losing every week but I know I'm eating wrong. And healthy and easy snack/dinner suggestions??

Original weight 298, Pre Op 273, Current 214.5 GW 160.

You can do this! We all can. I'm still a newbie but I'm really strict about mealtimes.that's my eating time.do you think you're bored? Check the site before you snack.chat for awhile. Ask someone to message you. You got this!

We all fall into that trap. We eat what our pouches allow and ultimately choose wrong items from time to time.

When I hit that stage I looked at my goals sheet I made pre op. I had not hit them all yet and that helped me refocus. I also found that when I stray from my daily routine I snack more. Today I overslept and I did not take my lunch. Today I ate bad. Worst thing you can do right now is beat yourself up over it. Get refocused and you will succeed.

Personal note I just went through this and I jut had to remember I had not reached all my goals. Then I had to put on my big girl panties and do what was right.

Hang in there you can do it!!!!

I started liking the Special K Cracker chips. They are really tasty and filling. Good as a small ocasional snack only, IMO.

Some other members mentioned hummus. I have never had it before but now I am curious.

I am middle eastern and hummus is a staple for me post surgery so is falafel. They are both made from chick peas and super healthy.

Hummus is delicious! I love the spicy varieties. If I can't find the spicy one I mix in my own jalapeños or any hot peppers I can find. Yummy!

I tried falafel once and didn't care for it. But perhaps trying it for the first time at a grocery store salad bar was the problem, not the falafel itself. It might be time to try a more fresh and authentic version. :-)

      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!
