That was the subject last night at my support group.
I haven't had WLS yet but I will on 3/18. A few were snacking all day on crackers an one was even doing chips, wheat thins and ritz. One put herself in check and she still is snacking but instead of bringing a box of wheat thins to work and eating it through out the day,she said she puts her serving in a baggy and just snacks now on that. It is the grazing that will add weight on, try not to snack and if you do,measure the amounts. Another one said she suddenly looked at the quanity and it wasn't a small amount she was eating and when she put it into 2 oz cups she had thirteen of then, so she has now limited her servings to 6 oz. at a meal and she is losing again. This surgery gives us a tool and sometimes you need to go back to the begining with protein drinks and measured portions, support groups are also very valuable. Good luck
