Recommended Posts

I am on full liquids moving into mushies. 2 1/2 weeks post op now. I got so tired of the bland stuff I was eating and then I started ordering Soup to go from different places. Egg drop soup got old fast from the local Chinese place and then i tried Applebees and WOW...they have awesome soups! The Tomato Basil Soup is heavenly and so is the Broccoli Cheese(the broccoli is super soft) and there garlic mashed potatos are very yummy as well! This has saved me!:thumbup:

I also ate at Applebees today, they have a nice band friendly menu all around, I ordered the djorn chicken portebella with steamed veggies, only 550 calories and I made 3 meals out of it.

Just a suggestion.. google your favorite Soup and restaurant it comes from and then recipe... for example

sweet tomatoes clam chowder recipe....

GUARANTEE you that you will find the recipe, then you can make a big 'ole pot of it at home and save yourself boucoup bucks!

Money in your pocket=money for new clothes! LOL

Just a suggestion :thumbup:

Most restaurant Soups are very high in sodium.

Don't do it every day.

Cambell's has a line of heart healthy low sodium soups. I add No-Salt to them and they are just as good as really Soup.< /p>

Loved Panera during my mushies stage because of the Soups.< /div>

I love the Soup there!

I have never watched my sodium enough. I've always had very low BP, so never got "trained" to watch it. I guess I should start paying more attention.

I'm just really tight right now, the chicken was a little rough going down if I start to feel any pain I quickly stop and continue at next meal. I ate the potatoes to, they surprisingly went down better than the chicken :smile2:. I never thought about putting djorn on my chicken, it was some of the yummiest food I have eaten in a while, I was thinking about trying to replicate that reciepe myself. Good luck!!

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
