I couldnt stand the mushies... I wasnt about to eat baby food or pureed anything so I pretty much ate mashed potatoes, applesauce, tuna, chicken salad, chili, yougert even thought I dislike it and bananas. Veggies were hard during mushies but I managed to eat mushed up peas and carrots chewed to oblivion... Lol

I preferred to keep everything simple during that stage...but just about anything healthy in the way of lean Protein and fresh fruit that can be put in a blender will work.

I made egg, tuna, and chicken salads, and had fresh cantaloupe, strawberries and nectarines. All of it went into the blender...

I was advised by my surgeon to have every meal consist of 3 oz of Protein and 2 oz of carbs. You can use different seasonings to make the meat salads taste different...but avoid super spicy things and keep the protein moist.

I'm in the puréed stage now. Have mostly been using Perdue griller chicken strips chopped up finely in the mini-cuisinart. I will have ricotta, spinach, peas, sweet potato. All total 1/2 cup. I usually just mi it all together. Thought it would be yucky but It's actually pretty good!

I also do scrambled egg and cooked oatmeal made w/ milk, cinnamon and vanilla. Oh, and Water & Protein shakes in between meals.

Good luck!

I made homeade chicken noodle Soup, froze some, and blended it up with my blender stick, ate about 3/4 c. Yummy!!! Ham n Beans, cooked in crockpot all day, then blended up, then add a lil ketchup, yummy!!!

Chicken soup I used chicken thighs boiled them, with carrots, celery and onion. Picked meat off bones, added it back to broth, bring to boil add egg noodles, cook until done. Tastes great even blended. oatmeal or over easy eggs mushed up.

I am just entering the mushy stage tomorrow. I'm honestly petrified, I'm normally a very picky eater and have some sensory texture issues with food so I'm really not sure how I'm gonna pull it off for three whole weeks. The eggs I can do, and applesauce and yogurt but not sure about anything else. I could use suggestions too!

I was the same way... Baby food made me gag. I drank sodium free v8 for the veggies. Scrambled eggs, tuna, chili applesauce and lots of Soups. Remember anything is mushy if you chew it enough....that's advice from my dr!

Today is my last day of mushies! I had lots of scrambled eggs, egg salad, cottage cheese, soft cheeses, yogurts, farina, mashed potatoes, Jello sugar free puddings and Tilapia.

Here is a recipe from my Surgeon's office that I loved:

Noodleless-Lasagna

2 tbsp Ricotta cheese

1 or 2 tbsp Marinara sauce

1 oz shredded Mozarella cheese

Mix together and microwave 1 minute.

Enjoy!

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
