Favorite Go-To Foods?



Recommended Posts

So I'm having a hard time being creative and I don't ever know what to eat now that I'm off mushies. I am a carb addict so I'm running out of things to eat other than chicken. Any suggestions? What's your "go-to" meal that you eat all the time or whenever you can't decide what to eat?

Someone please help and recommend some good things I can eat all the time!

Thanks in advance.

Well I don't mind chicken every day, but plain, flavorles chicken gets old. How do you eat it?

Oh and thanks no I haven't heard of that website I'll check it out.

I eat it fried or baked usually with either Tomato sauce or hot sauce.

String cheese is one of my faves. A girl in my support group this morning gave out a recipe that I might try.

1 Jello cup

1 greek yogurt cup (Dannon or Yoplait)

1 scoop Protein powder (use a fruity one, or an unflavored)

Tiny bit of diet big red or diet sprite

I dont drink cokes anymore, so I might try it with ice. Just blend it all together.

I also am in love with sugar free Fudgesicles from the Schwan Man!

I've been eating canned white tuna and canned white chicken breast ( both packed in water) Sometimes i add a small spoonful of mayo to make it a little moist.

I'll wrap it up in a lettuce leaf, or eat it with a few rye crackers.

I love it!

My go to foods are string cheese and roasted vanilla bean almonds. If I am able to sit down and chill for a few, I like to snack on Laughing Cow Light Cheese and Triscuits.

      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.
