No foods are off limits. It's about moderation not deprivation.

I LOVE grilled cheese sandwiches and have them regularly. I just use low fat cheese, whole grain bread, and "I Can't Believe It's Not Butter" spray. I usually have half a sandwich with a nice cup of Tomato Soup. Yum!

I was at my support meeting last week and my dietitian (my 3rd one) does not believe in eating everything. My 2rd dietitian told me nothing is off limits. Same surgeon just different staff.(different hospitals) I do eat bread.

That's exactly why I say nothing is off limits. Everyone seems to have their own idea of what works, the trick is finding out what works best for you.

Btw, that would drive me nuts to have 2 NUTS giving conflict advice!

Every surgeon is indeed different. We are not allowed Soup, chili, Protein Shakes or anything that requires a spoon. No stipulations on bread though.

Wow!! I'm not even going to lie, there's no way I could follow that program. I eat chili 3-4 times a week and have a Protein shake for Breakfast every morning.

Grief how in the world can you eliminate Soup or chili? is that just for the first few weeks or permenantly? I eat chili alot, and soup and sometimes Protein shakes.. Chili and refried Beans saved my life after my liquid phase...

I have a Protein Shake, also every morning for Breakfast. It is very thick and sometimes I have to use a spoon because you can't drink it.

my doctor recommended eating a 1/2 sandwich for lunch . the purpose of a lap band is to eat solid food so you fill full and satisfied.

Chili is off limits period. He said that Soups , shakes, and chili go straight through and don't allow your pouch to fill.

      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.
