I am really worried about eating real foods in a couple weeks. I know that I need to eat lots of Protein like chicken and Beans. What is a typical menu for a day for someone? I am really scared about stuff getting stuck.

If you eat slow and chew well you shouldnt get stuck..That said I should take my own advice...

I usually eat:

Breakfast: 1 cup oatmeal with milk and fruit mixed in.

Snack: carrot sticks or yogurt or Protein shake

Lunch: chicken salad

Snack: small bag of baked chips or popcorn or Protein Shake

Dinner: 4 oz of meat with either a salad or 1/2 cup steamed veggies and 1/4 cup starch if I'm still hungry

Snack: cup of coffee and toast if I'm hungry

I have not been able to eat rice, Pasta or soft bread with out getting stuck and throwing up so I would be careful of those if I were you.

I eat a lot of fish, shrimp and grilled chicken strips I put on my salad. I have a hard time with baked chicken, have yet to try steak and pork. Oh and eggs are a pain as well so I limit those.

I will have a Protein Shake when I feel hungry but not so much anymore.

Good Luck. :)

Thank you. That helps a lot. Why are eggs a pain. I thought that since they were a "soft" food that they would be okay. Do you have to weigh your food? Should I get a food scale to carry around with me, lol?

Dont know why eggs dont go down well they just get stuck for me...I dont weigh even though I should...I just eat till I feel satisfied... not all "soft" food is good like bread is soft but it gets stuck, mashed potatoes are soft but they get stuck as well...

If this is your first fill and you have a 10 or 14cc band unfortunatly you probably wont feel anything...but dont get dissapointed you will feel restriction soon just keep eating well and measure your portions. Good Luck

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

        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.

      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
