Needing help!!!

Alright...I'm 10 months post op and down 113 pounds, and it's going sooo slow now....I've been bad about not working out, and I don't dump or anything with sweets, and I can tollerate eating any and everything!!! I'm starting to really worry that I will get back on the "bad" way of eating again, any nutricious snack ideas you can give me to get me out of snacking all day long? The bad thing is I'm really picky....go figure a fat person who is picky about their food!! But any ideas will be a great help. I feel like if I don't get out of this slump I'm going to be in BIG trouble!

Wow Amanda you must be reading my thoughts exactly. I have been finding it difficult to keep away from the snacks lately and I stay hungry and like you I'm probably the most picky person in the world. I hate healthy things. LOL Wish I could find a nice snack that I actually liked and was nutrious. I'm looking foward to seeing what everyone post.

I find that if I am eating carby things, I can snack snack snack all darn day long and still be hungry. Beef jerky works really well for me, the protein seems to curb the urge to snack and because it takes a lot of chewing it keeps my mouth busy. And its easy to stash in my purse if I am going out.
