hmmm, I never ate any of those things.

Breakfast: Protein shake (my doctor recommends 1 a day & Breakfast is easiest for me)

lunch or dinner choices I used: tuna salad ( 1/2 can, little diced onion, low fat mayo) : egg salad (2 eggs, same as tuna): Gorton's Grilled Talapia: Soup: Lean Cuisine's (not the 30% more meals). If you get 1 with rice, be VERY careful, rice can get stuck

If I still needed Protein, I like the Pure Protein Bars (Walmart has value box at less than $1.00 per bar. Smal bites & CHEW!!!

Now I eat pretty much everything, but there are some things I have trouble with (chicken, broccoli, green Beans &bread) Can do chicken if it has a sauce, like BBQ or Orange (just for dipping don't go crazy) :)

Hope this helps.

Are you in the mushie stage? I made my family regular dinner and then I would puree it with some liquid (soup base, sauce, or gravy to thin it). It looked kind of gross but tasted good.

Hummus with carrots

Imitation (or if you can afford it, real) seafood flakes. I break it all up, add a little mayo and spices, yummy! Add a smidge of cocktail sauce to spice it up. Goes well in an omelet too.

tuna on top of whole wheat triscuits or cucumbers.

chicken breast in a can, mayo.

Lump Crab in a can.

I've heard some people use soft cheese (Skinny Cow? Baby Bell?) to mix with the tuna.

chicken Breast, cut in strips, placed in a hot sautee pan misted with butter spray. Sautee the chicken in Franks hot sauce, then spray more butter spray or use a smidge of butter. When chicken is no longer pink, remove from heat and enjoy (or not) with some LF Blue cheese, celery and carrots. Tastes like a wing without skin. I'm from Buffalo, it passes my strict standars!

Good luck finding ideas, I hopes this helps you...

What are the nutrition stats on those Walmart Protein Bars?

I eat greek yogurt for breakfast or a Protein Bar. The pure Protein are about 180 to 200 calories but they have sugar alcohols that can cause stomach upset and gas. I limit those to about 1 a week. I eat tuna, boca burgers, black bean burgers, cottage cheese, low sodium V-8 because I dont always eat my veggies, I make black bean casserole. Edamame with sea salt, sometimes but rarely chicken salad and I do not do low fat or fat free anything because the amount of fat I eat in a day is not too much. I also buy any of the pic sweet veggies in the single serving size. Protein Shakes I am done with. I don't think at a certain point you should still drink them. It is liquid calories and they do not keep you full. I eat eggs for breakfast too with a small amount of ketchup to help them go down. I hardly eat any meat because it doesnt like me. There are many things you can eat you have to try them. I thought I would never eat tofu but I love it. Sauteed in cabbage it is so good with lots of different seasoning such as dill, seasoning salt, cracked pepper. Packed with protein and taste like whatever you cook it with.

        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
