Post Operation Menus? I Need Help!



Recommended Posts

Hi,

I had my lapband placed on May 29 and my first fill on July 19. I'm having trouble with the food I'm supposed to eat and I'm wondering if anyone has any post-fill menus they'd be willing to share. I'm terrible at making up menus, but I'm good at following them. :)

Thanks, Mary

Can you explain the food troubles you're having so we have a better idea of what you need?

glad I found this: I too have trouble. I was banded June 13th, I can't eat chicken. Getting bored with or tired of Tilapia, can't eat eggs of course I got stuck on eggs yesterday and posted so many of you responded that was common, thanks for letting me know and also dehydration is common factor of stuck. But would like recipes too. thx

I like to buy turkey meatballs. I get them at Walmart or target but I'm sure other places have them. I eat them plane and just cut them up into small pieces. I also found turkey sausage patties that I eat for Breakfast. Taste just like regular sausage to me but it's healthier and turkey.

I am not yet banded however I have seen on here and my nutrition class a good choice is fat free refried Beans with fat free cheese.....probably not something you would want everyday but could be good now and then!

      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.
