Actually, I can find some pork products here. They aren't everywhere, of course, and they're expensive, but around. Apparently one of the store chains has bacon, and there's a butcher somewhere in the city that has pork. I've no idea where, though.

I think this would be a slider food. This type of food liquifies quickly then slips right through the band. You want a Protein that is going to keep your pouch full for a while.

I would agree that it is considered a slider food but at least it is not a bunch of carbs for an evening snack. Still waiting for a dietitians reply....

I tried eating them and all i can say is "OH THE PAIN" , they were so dry going down it was horrible, so i took a drink and that must of mushed them into a big ball instead of washing it down, took a long time to pass. Will not eat them again. Was not a slider food for me as they did not slide but "sat" there.

I try to eat Pork rinds instead of chips or crackers when I'm having a "crunchy, salty" craving. I've had them maybe three times since surgery, without any trouble. There's only one brand I like and I always get them because they have lots of salt. I figure the way you do, at least it's not sugar. We are not NEVER going to eat slider foods. This is not a "you can't eat this ever again" diet. You have to have what you want occasionally, or a good substitute for what you want that will fullfill the craving. Try one and see what happens. If it's bad, you'll know.

"Protein and Salt" --- and the fat they fried them in. I imagine the fat would make the chewed skins into a sticky consistency that would then stick when you swallowed.

I have 5.5cc and can eat Pork rinds. But, my dietitian said for me not to eat them because of the fat. I can eat them all day but, have only had them 3 times in 2 months. Seems the last time I ate them they did stay up top for a while no pain.....LONG LIVE THE PIG.

Oh dear! I have been snacking on Pork rinds. I have not had my first fill and can't seem to stay full for very long. although there is 5 grams of fat, there are no carbs in the regular rinds and only 70 calories in a serving (9 pieces.)

Crumbled Pork rinds also make a great alternate breading for some dishes!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
