Packed food for tomorrow...shake for bfast, 1/3 cup cottage cheese, 3oz chicken w/ homemade nf greek yogurt tiziki (sp) 4 slices pear, bag of edamame. Sound reasonable? That's for 8am-630pm. I was banded 2 weeks ago and have no restriction so trying to be super good about portions and choices.

How long have you been on solids. 2 weeks is a very quick progression. Have you been eating solids or is tomorrow the first day. At two weeks I was only on yogurt.

I have been doing small amounts of solids the past few days. My doc said there isn't anything magical that happens at 14 days and if i am tolerating them OK its okay to slow into them.

I've been doing more Mushie than solids up until now.

I was sent home from surgery with the first 24 hrs all liquids then after that mushies till today and I was banded 2 weeks ago also. However today I went all out and ate a small salad, tonight I'm paying for it, thought I chewed well but I have a feeling of either gas or stuck, it hurts or achey feeling in the middle of my chest. Really feels like gas more than anything. I do not have any restricction in my band either. good luck tomorrow.

You may not feel like u have restriction but u have a band around the top half of your stomach there will be some restriction even if u dont feel it, be careful what u eat whether u have fills or not .. eat like u can feel restriction and u wont cause any problems.

salad can be a difficult solid to get down and the feeling u got may well be u were full, so sounds like u do have some restriction :)

      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
