Leaving food on the plate!!!! My mom gave me hell about this growing up as such I became a member of the clean your plate club. Now even though I'm full, sometimes I want to keep going

.....eating slowly. I still can barely bother sitting down at the table because I won't be there that long. It's like I find eating slightly annoying, so I want to get it over with as quickly as possible.

me too. Mugh

Eating slowly

Remembering vitamins

Craving salty snacks. I had so hoped that my tastebuds would change post-op and I would hate things like popcorn and chips. Nope.

Remembering vitamins and getting in my water throughout the day.

Craving for junk foods. Fast foods, wings, chips, etc...

That's easy: Roasted and salted soy nuts Crunchamame The Good Bean garbanzo snacks Mixed nuts (salted is fine) Jerky Ostrim turkey sticks

My bugaboo is eating slowly, like everyone else. Dang, I wish I could get the hang of it. I even have a timer.

Eating too fast. I know, not very original. I am the worst when it comes to taking my time to eat.

Head hunger in the evening.

if you like tea buy some different flavored ones. That's what I have at night.

not sure what food stage your at but you can make chicken wings in the oven that taste better than fast food ones and lots of other fast food stuff you can make a healthy version so you don't feel ripped off.

Struggling with vitamins too and thinking of maybe switching to regular vitamins so I at least want to take it. The bariatric ones taste gross, chalky and take forever to dissolve. I've started dreading having these pills in my mouth for up to an hour before dissolving

My surgeon and nutritionist have always said that two Flintstone's Chewable vitamins are just fine. At least you don't have to wait for them to dissolve and they taste OK.

I take 1 Flintstone's Complete per day. Make sure you get the Complete version in the purple bottle. They include minerals.

For the late night thing, I keep some of the SF 30cal pops around from liquid phase. If its not a sweets thing i have cauliflower or radishes for crunch. But sometimes that upsets Thor, God of Thunder, that lives in my belly.

HEAD HUNGER at night! Do fine all day long and then at night - it's a real struggle! Finally gave up not using a straw and now I have no problem at all getting in my water and liquids - I just couldn't do it sipping!

I struggle with my water intake I HATE WATER!! Its so bland but I have to remember I'm not doing it for taste oh and also eating slowly has been my biggest issue
