Aside from the daily dose of humor I get out of this forum (which is excellent) - if you are wanting crunch, I've just been approved for "all" food. The Quest Protein chips definitely get me the crunch, give me the fullness of protein, and I can eat 1/3ish of the bag. That being said - I'm not sure how healthy they are, but has to be better than ritz crackers.

You weren't always a size 8...

Of course not!! But I've been maintaining it from a size 20 for 2.5 years. I am an expert on NO ONE but me, but I am not a pandering fool either. I know what worked for me, and I am definitely a successful WLS patient.

I'm not sure I understand where you are going here. :D

The disease of food addiction is the biggest problem. Those that have it, understand it. It's real and it's very powerful. My biggest challenge is to conquer this.

We aren't denying that. We were giving you the tools to make it easier for you. Not scolding you about the choice.

Crackers are made up of simple carbohydrates, which are processed in the body differently. They basically turn into glucose, or sugar in the body. That, in turn causes cravings for more, because sugar reacts in the brain the way heroine does. The easiest way I found to combat the cravings for more sugar or carbs is to keep myself full on Protein and fluids. It really helps. You need lots of both this early out anyway for healing, muscle building, and weight loss. You will eat less, too, because Protein is more dense and fills you up.

I just don't think it is helpful to be so harsh. Advice is great, but telling someone they'll fail at the start of their journey seems unhelpful. It's not easy to be a newbie...we all make mistakes.

I admit I am still weak at times. But if I had a sleeve of crackers in my kitchen, I know I would late nite grab one, two, three...... for that reason, there are NO crackers, chips, candy bars or the like in my house. If I feel hungry, I know I have a container of low fat cottage cheese, or a few almond in the kitchen, and all is well with my soul.

We have Snacks in the house for myself and my husband which are healthy and good choices....and then we have some unhealthier ones because we have and 11yr old, a 6yr old grandson and 3 other older boys. But we put the unhealthy Snacks out of easy reach and the boys have limits set on how much they can have. I haven't had an issue once, since I have the healthy snacks to choose. It is a temptation, but we do ok.

We're used to it. I just try and focus on the prize at the end. The kiddos encourage us, so that helps too. Having my hubby do this at basically the same time, helps too. We know the other understands. Hopefully some of our healthy choices rub off on the kids!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
