I know I hate them too. I feel like no matter what I eat its not enough. I pretty much suffer through them too like last night I was at work & I pack my lunch & snacks so I can only eat what I bring, unless I go to the vending machine which I have not & will not allow myself to do. I just try & drink water like mad. Someone once said they noticed right after having a big pouch day that they lose several pounds. I sure hope so. Lol
When I'm feeling especially empty in the tummy and nothing is filling it, I eat Kim's Magic Pops. Very filling and only 15 calories. It also fulfills my urge to crunch. I love them.

I eat another snack - healthy one. But my plan is also very liberal - they want me around 1500 calories now and on most days i get in around 1100 or so (i've uped it a bit recently). But on my 'big' pouch days, i go to around 1200-1300 or so. It doesn't happen a lot, but for me, the week before my period, all i want to do is eat. that is a new post op symptom
