I have been really frustrated lately. I am about a year out from surgery so I am somewhat tight. I don't eat Breakfast, but I will sometimes have a little something at about 9 or 10 in the morning. Well I don't get hungry, and I don't feel like eating anything until 1 or after. I could literally go all day without eating. I just don't feel like eating. I'm not hungry in the mornings, and I am rarely hungry at lunch time.

I do try to eat lunch, but I am having problems with finding things to eat. What do you suggest eating for lunch? Today I had egg salad. We have a local place that has a lunch special, and they usually have some sort of Soup that I will eat. I don't think leftovers would sit very well with me. It seems everything I eat tastes so nasty. Like I will crave something, but it tastes so nasty after only a couple bites. My taste has changed dramatically. Anyone else experience this?

Anyway, sorry for rambling. I just wanted some lunch ideas. Thanks so much!

I seem to eat a lot of chicken salad sandwiches. I just buy the 98% lean white chicken in a can, I like to add onion, celery, sometimes i chop up boccoli and cauliflower, radish... what ever raw veg I have and throw it in with the chicken and a little light mayo. I eat it on toast or crackers or wrap it up in lettuce. I've ate a lot of this since my surgery, so far I haven't gotten sick of it, the raw veg makes it nice and crunchy. Lots of Protien.

I will agree with you that somethings just don't taste good anymore.

I also will do lean cusine once in a while for lunch or leftovers.

Good Luck!

I buy the lloyds shredded chicken barbeque, pork, or beef it is very good low in calories and I put it on top of my salad therefore deleting dressing. With some fat free kraft shredded cheese its good. I dont think being that tight is a good thing though. Just some suggestions on food. It really is good and I dont get tired of it and one container is four meals for me so it might seem expensive but in all reality it averages out to about 1.25 a meal.

        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.

      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
