Sullie06, what kind of Snacks do you eat throughout the day?

I talked to my surgeon about always being hungry, and he said I'm not taking in enough Protein, so I've been making sure I get plenty of protein. If I do get hungry then I eat something high in protein. I did buy some of the high protein Snacks from the Bariatric store, and that helps too. What's weird is that lately I just haven't even been able to finish a yogurt or my jello(have to put my antacid broken up in the jello), and it's getting difficult again to get in two Protein Shakes a day. I just seem to get full before I finish one. Also makes it hard to get in my Water intake doing the 30/30 rule. How do most people on here eat and drink their water throughout the day? Do y'all try to have set meals, and when it's not mealtime you are drinking water, or what? I'm just starting phase 3. Thanks!

I'm 3 weeks out and I totally am hungry. It's not "head hunger" either. It's real. But, it's not like pre-op. It's easier to curb just by drinking something. I haven't gotten into many foods yet but I suppose once you are eating solids it should help some because there are more choices. I've been eating a lot of SF stuff but I am so torn because I don't want to be eating all the artificial sugar crap. I try to buy things with stevia or Monk Fruit but it's limited. It's frustrating.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
