I was wondering what everyone is taking for lunch? I have always had a hard time finding things I like for lunch and now it's even worse. Hopefully you all can give me some new ideas. I am 2 months post op, regular diet. Thanks :)

I may take leftovers from dinner or chicken salad or tuna salad with Special K crackers, fruit (grapes or cutie) and raw veggies (carrot sticks and cucumbers) although it is only a couple of each I do enjoy them.

Most people can eat anything/everything but just in smaller amounts and welled chewed. The hard thing for some is to eat healthy. No sweets, fried foods, etc.

Some on the forum use myfitnesspal to log their food. You can search the posts and find where many have asked for friends to be added. Once friends, you can view others food diaries.

I stay away from bread but eat wheat thin crackers with chicken, tuna, salmon salad or a small can of sardines with some fruit or veggies . Chicken chili or bean and bacon Soup. Also I get 2 or 3 pre-made chicken or turkey meatballs put some spaghetti sauce and cheese then microwave (yummy) .

I have a lot of ideas for Snacks and salads on my recipe group. Please friend me at hely lb on Facebook if you would like to join. I will be happy to look up other recipes for you as well if needed. I make a lot of different tuna and egg salads. I make big pot meals and freeze them in protions. There are so many things you can do!

        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
