Question:
What kind of chips are people abe to have?
I am really craving some chips and I was wondering what kinds and brands people are able to have? Do they have to be baked? Should I try the WOW brand? I was wondering what kinds of chips people are able to have. — Carolyn K. (posted on September 15, 2002)

It gets really hard to pass up the "chip urge" especially during
the summer with friends and BBQ's....I have any kind of chips that are
there...they ALL taste wonderful, but FORTUNATELY for me, after about 6 or
7 chips I get a yucky feeling so I quit...6 or 7 are my limit...My outlook
on this is, pre-op, I would have had the whole bag and now I can stop at
just a few...I eat whatever I want and what ever I am craving at the
time....I just eat little tiny portions now....

Instead of eating chips, why don't you get something healthier in the way
of a snack like Soy Crisps??? I discovered them last week. One serving
(25 crisps) are 110 calories, with 2g fat, 15 carbs and 7g protein. JR

Keto chips are good ranch flavor or barbque.

I eat whatever chips look tasty. The only thing is that I try not to eat
them alot as I'm afraid I'll get hooked again. Currently I'm getting
Walmart's big dorettos type corn chips ($1 a bag) and dipping them into
their mild Corn and Bean sulsa. Mmmmmm good. ;)

I tried some Keto chips, and they tasted like cardboard to me. (Sorry,
Sheri, I really wanted to like them!)

I can eat any type of potato chips including cheeto's and Cheese puffs.
But, I choose not too. I know they are just empty calories, and not a good
choice. I dont want to fall back into my old habits. Have you tried pork
rhines? they are a little better for you and are sorta like chips. Pretzles
might be a better choice too. (open RNY 7/23/02 -55 lbs)

I hate to be redundant but I'm able to eat any chips known to mankind. I
don't know about anyone else, but potatoes prepared in any way agree with
me the best of all the foods I eat. If you have a craving for them, try
pringles low fat. They're pretty good, go down easy and they're not as
terrrible for you as the others. Also unlike cheetos, they wont make your
fingers orange! - Mike

Wise, Lays, Doritos, Giant Eagle they ALL go down fine. Chips grind into
dust, thats why we can eat so many. A better choice according to my
surgeohn is pretzels. Since they have some body and will fill us up. I ONLY
buy little single serving bags when I feel like chips. That way eating the
whole bag doesnt mean eating the super jumbo sized baG:( It helps some. I
hate pretzels but do eat some popcorn since its somewhat filling..

WOW chips are really good and lo in fat. I like their tortilla chips with
some bean dip. I have tried pretzels, cheetos and sunchips, but
truthfully, be careful. They are addicting! I prefer popcorn as that has
fiber in it. I was 5 weeks post-op before I got the go ahead to have
popcorn and I try to have 1 cup of it every other night. Keeps ya very
regular, if ya know what I mean!

You can probably tolerate any kind of chips. I have had chips since
surgery, I had some both yesterday and today in fact. I had my neice and
nephew over the weekend, so I bought some chips for them and I also ate
some. Then I threw the rest in the trash to avoid temptation. I try not
to make a habit out of it. Perhaps, a good suggestion would be to eat some
with something else like tuna or chicken to help fill you up since chips
don't chew down to much and you can eat quite a bit without getting full.

The best chips are soy chips they have some protien in them,they also come
in diffrant flavers.Also good to try are the mini rice cakes,they come in
about 4 diffrant types.And by the rice cakes are some popcorn cakes.I get
these at Kroger ,and Walmart witch is cheaper.
