I agree that it takes concentration. The small bites as well as the chewing. Also I made sure not too put too much on my plate. I figure if I want more later I can have it but better not to overdo it. Had cottage cheese and apple/cherry baby food. It was delicious!

I cant eat more than 1/2 cup of food. I eat my meal out of a 1/2 cup container. I have learned how to master what I put in those containers. :)

I have layered and "casseroled" my meal in those containers to get my meat and veggies. For instance, tomorrow I am going to have sweet potatoes and chicken

Victorious - that's about it for me too. I also mixed/layered. For lunch I had baby food turkey with gravy on top of some mashed potatoes. Gosh that was good too. So many choices now after almost one month of liquids/shakes only!

I started mushies today too! I just had 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese, and I'm about to have 1/2 cup lentil Soup. I was kinda scared to eat real food again, but it's been in me 5 minutes now, so far so good

YAY!!! Congrats!!!

Omg, really great! :) just to feel normal again.....my mouth wasn't used to the physical sensation of chewing, like I forgot how to eat! Lol

I ate so slow I felt like I was going in slow motion!! LOL, I was so happy and did not want it to end. Eventhough it was a small basic meal, it was soooo good just to chew and taste cooked food other than Soup again.

I started my mushies on Thursday and I still can't even eat a lot which is wonderful to me. Not sure if I'm scared of overeating & getting sick or if I'm not that hungry. I'm still drinking Protein Shakes to get my Proteins in but I find that I love egg beaters now. I eat 1 egg beater in the morning & have a glass of milk an hour later & I'm not hungry all day until around 8pm or so but I'm trying my best to get to that goal of getting the amount of Protein I need in & it's really hard. Drinking 64oz of Water is even harder for me. I never thought that taking sips will be so hard, I mean I can take the sips but after a while I forget that I'm drinking something & not finish the water. Crazy but I guess this all takes some time getting use to. Good Luck everyone & Happy New Year!

Ahhh, it's the mushie things in life. Congrats to entering the next stage of your journey.

Time to start practicing your band rules. Small bites (nickle size), chew chew chew and wait 1 minute between bites.

Good luck on your journey!

Debbie - my doc had me do Clear Liquids the day of surgery, then Protein Shakes, milk, and strained cream Soups for a week. Week 2 I started puréed mushies. Next week Friday I get to start on soft foods like chicken and seafood. Week 4 I am back to regular foods. Each doc is different from what I see on these boards.

      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.
