dinner - usually a casserole my sister fixes from Sparkpeople (low fat - high protein)

Right before bed, I have a little cottage cheese because I'm hypoglycemic and will get sick if I don't.

Omg I think I'm way out of whack or something everyone of y'all eat way more than I do :( for breakfast I eat a egg cheese and sausage tortilla thing. Then most days I skip lunch if I do eat lunch its a lean cuisine then dinner I eat either pieces of a whole chicken I cook in the crockpot or I eat steak with brocolli and cheese but I only eat like 6 bites of dinner then I'm done. The chicken in the crockpot is the only chicken I have found I can eat since it sits in a cup of Water and cooks so its rly rly moist to where it just falls apart. Maybe I should try eating more idk

Well, everyones different... If you are having trouble getting Protein down are you maybe too tight? Everyone eats different. I get about 4oz of Protein per meal, then if i can fit in anything else I add that in.

Well dry chicken just won't stay down idk why everything else is perfectly fine. It doesn't matter if I chew dry chicken 50 times its coming back up its feels as if it sits in the back of my throat like I can't swallow it. I do drink Protein Shakes to try to get enough Protein in but I rly doubt I even get enough calories prolly like 600 a day if that

Great ideas! I seem to get stuck in a rut some weeks, and it seems like I eat the same thing over and over.

Breakfast: Click Mocha Protein shake (blended with 12 oz. Water and ice) -- it gets me going in the morning! :)

Snack: Chobani Greek yogurt (if I'm hungry)

Lunch: salad [5 oz. grilled chicken, 2% cheddar cheese (1 oz.), baby spinach (2 cups), and light ranch salad dressing]

Snack: 11 Newman's Own Hi-Protein pretzels with Babybel Light cheese

Dinner: Baked chicken breast (5 oz), steamed zucchini/yellow squash with a little lemon pepper

Breakfast:

I had 2 eggs sunny side up, with 1 light english muffin

Lunch:

Should be the left over chicken salad in my fridge with 2 flat bread crackers

dinner

Either a lean cuisine pizza (omg these are good I'm obsessed with them), or 4 turkey meatballs with mozzarella cheese and marinara

and knowing me, probably a stop for some Pinkberry somewhere in there :D

Do you eat the entire lean cuisine pizza? those are my favorite!!

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
