Celery? (gag, I HATE the stuff, but heard once it even give u a negative

calorie count: takes more calories to chew it than there is in the celery).

When I had WLS my kids were fairly young (7, 5 and 2). My entire way of

cooking and preparing meals changed. Basically, my kids have eaten the way I

do all these years. Even before that, I always kept fresh fruit and veggies

around to snack on. Prior to WLS, I would put the kids to bed and eat a pint

of Ben and Jerry's alone. My kids never missed what they didn't have. Now my

kids are almost 17, 15 and 12 and I don't have as much control of snacks

away from home. They have the basic structure for eating well and none of

them show signs of weight problems for now. I was 11 or 12 when I first

started gaining. Nothing wrong with snacks. You just have to be careful what

they are.
