Don't slam me for this question... I do bite back????

I asked my doctor about pork skins hence the word skins he looked at me like I had 12 heads. His look alone told me my answer.

Is he Jewish, maybe? That would do it. ;-)

I don't remember when I started eating them, but I eat Pork rinds all the time. They were on my list of recommended foods as an alternative to chips and crackers. The only chip I have ever really liked is tortilla chips with salsa, but I don't use them for that (I use celery). But I eat pork rinds frequently now with my hummus.

In my opinion, when your surgeon says you are cleared for all foods, then give them a try. There is no rush to experiment right now.

I still haven't had Pork rinds post op. I used to eat themore as a low carb eafter, I used them for breading for fried chicken.

If you want crunch. I like the Quest chips, they melt in your mouth.

Pork rinds are a good snack if you are a choice I think. I just don't think at 5 weeks they are.

Okay thanks. I've purchased turkey Jerky. I decided against Pork rinds. I will try that later in my sleeved life.

I wouldn't even want to eat those just because I would be afraid of doing all this hard work just to have it gained it back. This is an opportunity to get back on track and I'm giving up everything that has to do with chips fried in oil, pork skins fried in oil, if it's not a meal with Protein or on my list then I know not to bring back all those bad behaviors. I've worked to hard to undue the benefits that will come once I have my surgery.

I have to say I can't recommend Quest chips, they have a terrible aftertaste...like this dusty flavour. I do like the Kay's Naturals chips though...more tolerable, left of that powdery aftertaste.

I decided against it once @@jenn1 posted the nutrition information. I decided against it now , so I'm good. I'm very disciplined with my sleeve that's why I was trying to incorporate a snack that I thought was low carb with good Protein content. I have no desire for junk food or I would have asked could I eat little Debbie Snacks. I have gone through a lot to get this sleeve and I'm not that one to sabotage my efforts to become healthy and reach my goal because of a piece of pure sugar. I'm trying to see my goal by the end of March. Only 41 lbs to go. So I'm focused . I just ask questions on here to get advice from the vets due to they have been around the block once or twice.

Where can one purchase them?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
