Fruit Snacks and Crackers?!



Recommended Posts

Ok guys. Im 28 days post op. at my 2.5 week check up I was cleared for soft foods and down 22.5 pounds. I noticed since starting soft foods, Ive gained about 3 pounds which I was told was normal, and should stabalize soon. The scale has been stuck for about a week and has not moved! could it be the occassional pack of fruitsnacks ive had? or the 2-3 crackers Ive had??

yes, he did..I was told wheat crackers were fine in moderation. as far as the fruit snacks they were sugar free, but ive decided to just eliminate them completely until further out

For me no crackers, bread, pasta,wheat thins, or other carbs until 75% of my weight loss is achieved.

I am on a strict budget, so Walmart is my go to, my wife helped me research and we came up with some cool Snacks, I wanted the prepackaged ones that have a small amount of nuts, meat, and cheese but they were $1.67 ea., instead we bought a large package of Jerky, can of Cashews, and round baby cheese, we'd took baggies and I used our new kitchen scale( my wife is awesome in getting me things I need to accomplish my goals), and measured out 1oz portions in each bag, I have enough snacks for 2weeks, I don't try to snack everyday, but if I do these are my go to, later this year we will also invest in a vacuum bag system so we can store larger bulk items and meats since I only use 5oz at a time, good luck

My doctor said I could have crackers as long as they have e grams of fiber. I am also stalled so I am wondering if I should cut that out

I cut crackers out for 2 days, and my stall broke. So it could be the crackers

      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? 🤷‍♀️
