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 eat hummus for lunch sometimes ..delicious chickpeas dip. I make my own so it has less fat.

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!

Tabouleh is amazing but idk if the parsley is good early on. I would be more than happy to give recipes if you want.

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. :-)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
