I am 15 days out, and I will tell you what I eat:

Egg salad, tuna salad, chicken salad, all made with Smart Beat fat free mayo, onion powder, garlic powder. One scoop per meal. Chopped liver.

Fish fillets: salmon teriyaki, broiled fish, fish baked at 350 degrees for 10-15 min is usually great. Just olive oil, salt, pepper. Lemon is good too.

pureed oatmeal. I am ok with just chewing it a lot in my mouth.

Egg beaters or egg white omelettes with cheese, salsa, pureed vegetables, and combos of things.

Chili and stews

I have also had on occasion hash browns, the mushy part that is pureed.

I am 17 days post surgery. For Breakfast, I eat cottage cheese and a half of a smashed up banana. For lunch I eat canned tuna, with Pickle Juice, and light mayo, finely blended. For dinner I have canned chicken with fat free gravy blended up and a little bit of mashed potatoes. All the meats go in the food processor. I've lost 13 lbs. since being banded! You are doing great as well! Good luck!

Some things I like:

Baked potato no skin with 2 wedges melted Laughing cow cheese and some steamed broccoli chopped fine stirred in.

Mashed great northern canned Beans seasoned with chopped ham.

Scrambled eggs with melted Laughing Cow wedges, finely chopped ham or bacon, or Jimmy Dean turkey sausage crumbles. Sometimes I toss in a few TBL of refrigerated hash browns.

When I make meatballs for the family, I freeze a few for me. I thaw and finely chop and stir them into Pasta sauce. I take a small baking ramekin and plop in ricotta, sprinkle parm and parsley and garlic powder, top with the meatball sauce and bake in my toaster oven. Top with more parm and a pinch of mozz.

I like finely chopped rotisserie chic mixed with 1/2 n 1/2 blend of Greek yogurt and lite mayo, and whatever seasonings, add some tiny diced celery, just enough for crunch.

I love Laughing cow cheese and I definatley take these meal ideas and apply.... I feel really lost with this. I think because it hurts going down I am afraid of eating. It's sad but sweets go down with no problem and I dont want to go back to old habits... I really want to be sucessful in this journey.

      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
