I have a suggestion for a good snack that curbs hunger for me. I buy different flavors of soynuts, break them down into 1/3 cup (140 cal) snack pack servings. I keep them in my purse and they really do fill me up and hold me over. Does not seem to be a "slider" snack at all. I truly feel full.

Mine is those stupid bottled Frappacino's and a snickers while I'm out running errands. If I go to either the grocery store or a gas station, I mindlessly grab that. I'm trying to make sure I take the spouse with me to stop me, but she can't always be there.

lol BgBp, why does there have to be such good food out there?

Those Dunkin lattes are my downfall and the ice coffee, but I resisted today and made my own ice coffee with fat free half & half and tiny bit of Hershey syrup!

Even when thin (if I get there), I know this is something that I know I have to deal with every day, though some days better than others. :glare:

To those wanting to eat everything in site when they get home, I would suggest eating a Protein Bar on the way home...Getting that Protein in will give you some energy and a senes of fullness...so when you do get home your not eating the refrigerator

Rmann,

Thanks for reminding me about the protien bars. Sometimes I forget about those. They do help.

Something I like also is a caramel rice cake with Peanut Butter. They are really yummy. You would think that would choke me, but it does not. lol.

I have Protein Bars at my desk, so I don't feel guilty for an afternoon snack (and the chocolate chip granola ones feel like candy), but for me its...EATING IN THE CAR! Cheese-its (they seem to be popular to all in this thread) or those Ritz toasted crackers like sour cream/onion or cheddar...and sitting at my computer at home...the m&m jar is next to it...so I try hard to just have 2-3, but sometimes it's 2-3 handfulls... meals I'm ok with, and do a Protein Drink in the afternoon.

NfL1,

Isn't it true about the meals, I have nooo problem whatsoever now with eating healthy meals, it's the darn snack monster!

I have said goodbye to those high carolie subs, pizza, etc. but the sweets still call out to me. :grouphug:

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
