ok tried the meatloaf... question?



Recommended Posts

i actually made two batches and tried everyones suggestions... thanks so much for all ur help...

i did find that they both came out very very very dry and were very hard for me to tollerate even though i chewed it into much...now im not a seasoned cooker so maybe that was the problem!

My next question obviously will be...how the heck do u get it to be softer and moister? i know these questions might sound stupid to u...but i have noo idea what im doing sometimes in the kitchen so bare with me. Should i cook it for less time?

did you put a cover over it? IF not that can make it dryer. What recipe did you use and how long did you cook it?

When I make meat loaf I use breadcrumbs but soak them first in milk, I'm sure you can use milk if you didn't use the crumbs. This will make it very soft. You can also use beef broth..... Tomato sauce or salsa. Anything wet you can throw in, just watch the calories.

Good luck !!

You might have to cook it longer if its really wet.

When I make it with the psyllium husk, I add eggs and beef broth (low sodium, fat free) to the loaf when mixing it up... them add more broth to the pan it cooks in.

I use that juice with some Zanthan Gum and heavy cream to make a gravy afterward.

      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. 🤞
